"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."

Still inexcusable. They're wasting power users' time by making them have to search for a way to change this unexpected and undesirable setting. I'm glad that the first time Edge hijacked my Outlook link I saw a popup message that allowed me to change the setting to use the default browser. But I could have easily missed it and it would have wasted my time.
