It also has a good use of being the toilet of browsers. As in, if you ever are required to temporarily install some pervasive plugin or extension to take a proctored exam or something, Edge is good to use because you know you won't use the that browser for anything you care about and you can protect good browsers from those garbage plugins.

That's what I have an entire laptop for. I call it the Dust Collector. It's sole purpose is to collect dust and maybe once or twice a year be ready for a proctored exam.
