This is encouraging generosity toward lefties.
1.What does "grab the edge" mean? "taking dominant position"?
2.What does "for one" mean?
3.Does "didn't encourage" mean a counterfactual condition even if there is no if-clause?

ex)From a lefty's perspective, consumer relief is long overdue. If you are a lefty or live with one, you know how miserable it is for lefties to try to use scissor, can openers, three-ring binders, or other basic items desinged for right-handed people...But now lefties are on the march, growing in numbers - and it won't be long before marketers stop shunning them and instead grab the edge in the lefty marketplace....The bottom line is that the rise of southpaws means not just that we'll have more lefties in school and in the workplace - but also that society is becoming more tolerant and ultimately more able to build on self-expression instead of suppressing it...I, for one, wouldn't want to live in a society that didn't encourage handedness of all types.
