At one point it went from an optional download to being required for the offering system. At that point you weren't allowed to uninstall it.

Of course that was back before the government was completely owned by tech corporations.

    Isn't that unchanged? Edge is installed by default and I don't think you can fully remove it..

    It was way worse back then. Nowadays you can actually remove it. Back then they hooked IE into numerous core UI things like the desktop wallpaper and file manager, so any attempt at actually removing it completely fucked your system
