Similarly to that, Android phones are now (since Android 7) using
Chrome in place of "WebView". Prior to that, WebView was a separate app,
based on the Chrome's engine, Chromium.

I suspect that W10 might use the Edge mechanicals for various UI things.
The reason that you can't choose to not install it is because then without
it your file viewer or suchlike won't work.
When it comes down to it, a browser is just a means of looking at files,
and
it's arguably a lot more efficient to have everything in one place rather
than
having a bunch of different programs with overlapping functionality.

According to what I found on the internet, if you're running Windows 10 it
cannot be removed.
It might install it, but that doesn't mean it gets set as your default
browser.
Of course if you're dumb enough to click on the button they offer when they're
telling you about the wonderful new options you can get by using their browser
I assume it will go right ahead and do that, but I can't be certain about
that,
because I declined to click on that button. I still have my default browser
of
choice. I'm sure some other Microsoft software will insist on opening up Edge
if I ask it to display a web page, but so far I haven't run into that -
those
Microsoft Apps I use most (Visual Studio and Excel/Word) still open up my way.
