I think the drama is the result of intent, not theoretical possibility for someone who knows a workaround. The difference is that Microsoft obviously doesn't WANT you to uninstall edge, and makes it artificially more difficult to do so than 3rd party browsers, despite your ownership of the computer.

Does Linux want you to remove the bootloader? Cause that is what the post is claiming then.

Windows is a lot more idiot proof, that is why it is so popular with non-techies. T'is a feature, not a bug.

Yeah, because only an idiot would want to get rid of Edge. Obviously.
