This isn't really meant for most Linux users. Since Microsoft has the Windows Subsystem for Linux they are bringing Windows Defender and the Edge browser to Linux to integrate Linux more seamlessly into an already established Windows network/environment. This allows enterprises to maintain Microsoft support and the peace of mind that provides across their entire network or business or whatever.
If anything the Microsoft name legitimizes Linux to the corporate suits who make the decisions and sign the contracts with OEM partners.
For most Linux users it won't make any difference, but for some it will allow them to use the OS of their choice in their corporate environment.
