I use SumatraPDF as my default reader. (I can recommend it - lightweight "gets the job done 99% of the time" tool.) Edge already makes it really hard to not use their default reader - you can make a PDF _download_ and then you have to click the downloads menu to open it, but apparently you can't just click a link [to something that serves a HTTP response with content type application/pdf] and have the program open by default.
Where this gets really weird is Office 365 integration, if you export as PDF in word and have the "Open after exporting" checkbox ticked, it'll try and force it into Edge even if you have Sumatra as the default reader in Explorer, resulting in Edge _downloading_ a copy of the file to the downloads folder even though the original is in the same folder as the word doc on your local drive.
I imagine the Adobe integration will only make opting out even harder. Maybe it's time to switch back to chrome or one of the million lookalikes.
