      Because 99% of users have never heard of any browsers other than Safari, Edge, Firefox, or Chrome. So they go with what’s most familiar to them.

      Ask a hundred random people off the street to name 5 browsers; they won’t. Most would struggle to even name 3.

        I think half of those people wouldn’t know what a “browser” is.

        What? Google Chrome is never installed by default on macOS and Windows. How would you not know what a browser is if you have to intentionally install it?

          If you ever visit Google or any other their hundreds of services which dominate the entire web, which 99.9999% of internet users will do at some point, you’ll eventually be prompted to install Chrome.
