In my experience, Microsoft is in weekly meetings with supervisory authorities, and they have a constant risk assessment of just ignoring EU regulations beyond GDPR going on.
I've submitted a few GDPR requests that had an impact on Microsoft too - so if you're an EU citizen, make a good habit of complaining about bad data hygiene and anticompetitive behavior.
I mean, obviously they want to push Edge - but for some reason their hands were forced within the EEA. I'd be interested to know that reason :)
