The title is a little clickbaity - the behaviour can be changed:

“ Ultimately though, if this experience isn't right for you, you can turn off this feature the first time it launches in Microsoft Edge, and then in Outlook settings at any time after that. ”

Having said that, Microsoft seem to be entering another phase of baiting antitrust regulators.

That is very annoying. On s related note I personally hate how I need to enter the settings of every app on my phone to tell them not to use the embedded browser? Why would I ever want to use something which is not my default browser? The only scenario I csn see is offering to open in private browsing but still in my browser or something like tor. Just some web view makes no sense.

And this is similar. There is no non-malicious use case for this setting that I can see.

On Android at least, browsers can also provide the "embedded" overlay, and Fennec, Vivaldi, etc. all do, so it's not really necessary to mess with app settings, changing the system default browser is enough.

On iOS, it's mandatory, because Apple says so.
