That's the Windows 95 lawsuit all over again. They forced internet explorer on people, got sued for creating & exploiting a monopoly, lost, and had to offer people the chance to remove it.

They claimed it's integral part of the OS, and so were forced to un-integrate it.

I'm sure they will find a way to give users a choice to get rid of Edge, if they ~~really wanted to~~ were forced yet again.
