Microsoft seems to be casual about trusting CAs, isn't transparent in their inclusion decisions, and their trust store is quite large. Any reasonable website would only use a certificate trusted by a quorum of browsers (especially Chrome), so the benefit of the extraneous CAs seems low.

I'm not a Windows user, but I have to wonder if there's a way to use the Chrome trust store on Windows/Edge. I can't imagine trusting Microsoft's list.

They are not transparent because it is based on enabling sales.
