It got better for Edge after anniversary update. But I would not call that "fixed", because it is not on par with ClearType.

Microsoft can go fuck himself, I am not going change my monitor/hardware everytime he wants. I would be much much happy with my Fedora/Ubuntu, or if I want good support there is always apple much superior to Microsoft.

Apple uses grayscale font rendering too, not even pixel aligned. It looks nice because all of their devices are high DPI.

Exactly, They know their hardware, and trying to optimize their software for their hardware.

Microsoft do know what hardware people use (in third world country I would say 99% of people do use low dpi monitor), but they changed and ruined people experience anyway. That is the main point, they don't care about existing user.

I bet if apple monitors was low-dpi monitor, apple would do everything they can to improve font rendering in their low-dpi monitors.

Do you see the mindset?

Unlike Windows 10, Mac OS X still supports subpixel font antialiasing (similar to ClearType in Windows 7), it is called LCD font smoothing there, e.g.: https://www.tekrevue.com/tip/os-x-yosemite-disable-lcd-font-...
