Once long term support ends for the older OSes, lagging corporations will most likely jump to Windows 10. That IE share should drop even lower and be absorbed mostly into Edge.
Regardless of total market share, having a modern, actively developed and maintained browser in Edge on corporate machines should make the web landscape much better - ES Next, no ugly IE hacks or polyfills, etc.
Google actively hinders using Google services on Edge at least by using annoying pop-ups which basically tell you that your browser is outdated. People less tech-savvy than me WILL switch to Chrome/Firefox etc after that. I have a feeling that this borders on monopoly abuse in a way similar to what Microsoft did when Microsoft had the dominance with IE.
