Yeah...

And before Edge it was IE..

IE was also impossible to remove backj in the days.. they did have an option uninstall but all it did was remove the icons from start menu, but all the files where still there..

At this day and age the browser is so deeply integrated into the OS that is not really possible to remove it without breaking things..

This is why you cant remove Edge from Windows, Chrome from Android and Safari from apple things.

Even in linux, Gnome has Epiphany (now Gnome WEB) and KDE has Konqueror..
