Right, I recommend this service to people with one or two phones all the time. It’s simply not cost-effective set up an entire PBS for only a couple of phone. Most of the time those users also do not need this in feature, but it is a good solid feature to add to their offer.

Now I get to say, You're kidding, right? to you.
MS is trying to put themselves everywhere. Keep themselves in people's minds.
Not to mention that they are trying to compete with Google in some feature ways, first one to mind - what you're browsing on your desktop can now flow to your phone and vice versa, just like Google can do.Now that said - I don't think the public will care.

Just another spot for their browser to fail and Mac people to mock them, though.

Doesn't have to be Webkit on Mac, does it? That's only for iOS.

This is for iOS and Android, not macOS.
You trotted out the Mac people phrase incorrectly and I simply ignored that and treated your comment as "Apple users"

OH, my brain just saw it and thought Mac for some reason. Sure, iOS will work, and be pointless.
