  They could, though. win+r `microsoft-edge://` should open Edge.

    Any protocol should open the app the user chose. And msedge.exe works in your case.

      My point is that applications themselves overriding URI protocols (that already have an app set) is an anti-pattern; in my opinion, MacOS' "Use Chrome/Keep Safari" prompt is the best way to handle this, as it allows the browser to prompt for change while ultimately letting the user choose. This would help in general, even for other protocols like https or mailto.

        Microsoft overrode users' choices. Not anyone else. EdgeDeflector just changed microsoft-edge links to https links so they would open in the browser the user chose. Users had to choose to install it. Firefox and Brave just added microsoft-edge to the protocols they supported. Users had to choose to make 1 of them the default browser.
