Meh, weak argument in my opinion. If one happens to run into the problem of having no browser, there are other ways around it. E.g., using your smartphone to download the installer of a browser and transfer it to the PC. People, who run into situations where they could end up with no browser are usually those who are overwhelmed with the internet anyways.
That they don't make it easy to uninstall edge, while it's easy to fuck up your system in other ways, clearly shows that it's not about helping DAUs, but about forcing edge onto users.
If there was a simple checkbox to uninstall Edge... checking it back on would just install it. That's how the rest of Windows system features work.
And how it tries to accomodate user that does not want any browser?
I.e. without browser installed? It contradicts your previous statement.
Will Microsoft send spare disk for all the bloat user don't want, but can't delete?
