At my job we have a Google Drive clone that only works in Internet Explorer, which is a whole different rant, but half the times I open the Start menu, type in "Internet Explorer", and click on the IE logo, it changes to Edge after I click and opens that instead. It's very frustrating and I can't believe Microsoft thinks this is the way they're going to get people to use it.

They did that because grandma knows to go to internet explorer for the internet, and won’t ever click on Edge unless forced to (even though she doesn’t get security updates for IE).

Your IT department can tell Edge to open intranet sites in IE so even if you open Edge, you’ll get to the site.
