Well, in their eyes, it seems vital to be sending me adverts as notifications, I guess it’s probably also vital that those adverts have a browser to link through
The lesson they learned in the 90s is that you can drag a trial out long enough to get a favorable administration in office to give you a slap on the wrist.

Isn’t it required for all networked services they provide via windows (for example windows update, network connectivity checks, etc)

Browsers use network functions. Any program can use network functions, no need for a browser.
Can you install applications in any other way on windows?
Yes, Windows has an app store, and a CLI package manager called Winget now.

If there was a simple checkbox to uninstall Edge… checking it back on would just install it. That’s how the rest of Windows system features work.
And how it tries to accomodate user that does not want any browser?
