How do I remove Edge and IE so Edge Dev is opened by, say, Windows Update?
Edge Dev IS my default browser, but not even Microsoft seems to honor that. How do I remove Edge and IE so they are not used? Uninstall is grayed out.

I'm wondering (or guessing) if its in preparation for the eventual stable release of Edge C. Especially with IE compatibility mode in Edge C there isn't much need or reason to keep IE 11 around anymore once Edge C is released, and it could bring those IE users over to Edge C even if to use the IE mode.
I was in IE just too remember how it was as I stopped using it when original Edge came out. It shows its age and I don't think extensions can even be used with it (I can be wrong). But I have to admit...it's simple. That's what I like about Edge Chromium is Microsoft is keeping it simple and soft on the eyes even more so than Google Chrome. Although that's just my personal opinion.
