The bigger issue isn't even whether they sound the same (which they don't), but more so that even if they did it shouldn't matter. There are a finite number of chords and among them you have to then find ones that sound good together. Unless it's a blatant ripoff, for the sake of the art form we have to keep that space open for people to be creative.

Thank you for being the voice of all musicians

I'm not really familiar with Ed's music, but I am now a fan of him. I'll be checking out his music now for sure. Kudos!
