They already said that way before that they are dropping support for Epub. there are lots of Epub readers in the Windows store. they probably want to keep Edge browser just a browser and not a bloated bundle of programs.
Read aloud is also available, not for PDFs yet though.
Cortan is on the list "under review" but I think they are holding on that because they are first waiting for the Windows team to complete their Cortana 2 beta (currently available to Windows insider fast and slow ring) and then Edge team can evaluate which commands should/can be integrated into the browser.

1)They said they would have dropped it, but makes no sense removing it to classic Edge, where they had already made an effort fo implement it.
2)Many users in this community want it back, they should consider it. They're not just browsers anymore, and they need distinctive features if they want users to choose Edge instead of any other browser, especially given its bad reputation among average users.
3)There are many epub readers in the window store, but most of them suck, and there isn't anyone as complete as Edge was.
