That is a particularly annoying thing. The good news is that you can fix that, even though you shouldn't have to.

Open Edge and go to Settings > Profiles > Profile preferences and toggle off "Use Microsoft Edge to open links from other Microsoft apps".

God, that's such a typical new-Microsoft dark pattern; hiding the toggle for an annoyance in some weird location, hoping the user doesn't find it. It's everywhere in Windows 10.
