Absolutely. Although, I will say that, having a built in screen reader, like Apple does, would have made getting jobs easier and that would have ensured that employers wouldn't have to go spending out for a screen reader. The other advantage of MS having Narrator is that they can control and test for accessibility using Narrator. However, there is a downside to this. The downside is that if you want tech support with Narrator, you won't be able to get it. Also, Narrator in windows 10 doesn't have braille display support, scripting, etc, etc, etc, like JAWS, Window-Eyes, or NVDA does. I think their will still be a need for 3rd party screen readers to exist. You guys should also be aware that Microsoft has blind people working for them as well. One guy that works for them is named Kelly ford.

Adding that Promoting Narrator as being friendly with the Edge browser was an insult to people who use far better screen readers, such as Window-Eyes. Becausew there appears to be no hurry to have Edge available to specialist screen reader developers, and also given that internet Explorer is now legacy, Microsoft is insideously shutting us out of cutting edge web developments, and making it almost impossible for screen reader manufacturers to continue to develop products which respond to today's (and tomorrow's) access requirements.
