I assume it’s just a test they’re running on specific groups of people just to see how effective it is in getting people to switch. I’ve never had any of these types of things happen to me either, so, yeah.
I’m in the US and the only time I see mention of edge is when installing windows and then again when changing my default browser, which is kinda silly but not something I bother wasting mental energy to care about when it’s something that shows up once and then never again. I would love to see legislation in the US match what some of the European countries have but considering how things could be, it’s of least concern to me. I paid for Windows once in my life via an OEM license I ordered from a German retailer and I’ve had about 16 or so computers since then and all of those have either been custom built machines, used computers, or parted together boxes so if they want to bug me about installing their browser which effectively will recoup revenue based on data from me which varies from useless to misleading and probably becomes a net negative and moves them further from their goal. Then sure, I don’t mind clicking that “no thank you” button
How are you guys seeing this? I constantly hear these complaints but never see it myself.

Makes sense. I guess I’ve been a very lucky boy.
Depends on the laws of the country with the language you picked during setup.
e.g. use UK english or German for setup and change after.
At least until they switch to detect via IP range or whatever.
Oh maybe that’s it. I’ve also never seen any kind of popup or ad (same thing for my Samsung TVs) that I’ve seen people mentioning.
I had no idea why I might be spared.
I’m in the US, using English as my language. Idk, this is weird.

The yes and no button do the same thing.
Yeah, same.
I installed windows 10 on my brothers PC for him the other day after a catastrophically corrupted prior install. I saw seven ads by my count.
Ones for Spotify, onedrive, office 365, several for gamepass.
Did you install an official version? I’ve never seen those.
Yes Sir, straight from the windows media creator tool
Windows acting like oldschool viruses, giving random ad pop-ups 💀
