That's your opinion. People have been using Ctrl + Tab + Ctrl + # to browse tabs for over a decade. Tabs are not windows, if I wanted tabs to be windows I'd use Ctrl + N. Even after disabling the feature, Edge kept messing up my Alt-Tab from a Microsoft Word document. I Alt-Tab often from a PDF to a Word file but sometimes instead of alt-tabbing back to the PDF, it acts as if the current word file isn't even focused and goes to the third most recent window.
The only thing good about Edge is their PDF capabilities even before chromium. Even though Edge uses chromium I can't use my own chromium theme because Edge can't handle an ntp image. Show me search and site suggestions using my typed characters does not even work for me. I downloaded Foxit PDF Reader so now I probably won't ever use Edge.

That's okay.
but here is some facts:
- Edge NTP can show custom images.
- Themes made for Google chrome obviously don't have to work with Edge because Edge has a different UI. the same applies for other chromium-based browsers such as Opera, Vivaldi etc.
- PDF capabilities are improving every week.
- The ALT + Tab functionality can be disabled in Windows settings => multitasking
