Personally speaking , I don't see much value in sync with Google Account and if we do, then user will ask about how about Apple account and then how about... account and there would be loop of supporting others while there is need to do more for Microsoft Account.
However, I believe it could be interesting if there is some sort of cloud migration tools instead of sync profile. How it works, is user login with Microsoft Account and select retrieve data from Google Chrome and sign in with Google Chrome Account and then it retrieves these data from Google Cloud (the one are related to Google Chrome) to Microsoft Account and once it is done, the service automatically sign out from Google Account.
This is good let say for scenario like I bought new PC and it only has Microsoft Edge and I have my Google Account favorites in Google Chrome at work and I need to install Google Chrome and sync to get my data and then import them in Microsoft Edge and uninstall Google Chrome. This way, I directly get all my data without having to install Google Chrome once.
I remember, once I moved all of Gmail's email to Outlook.com using feature in Outlook.com to import emails and I did it once (it won't sync with Gmail) but user decided to completely using Outlook.com and has all Gmail's email there.

I know you can fix sync issues in the google account for chrome. Is there a way for edge to be able to detect that if you put your google account? But that wouldbe a one time thing. Or just make a extenstion to sycn
