There is nothing to be confused about, the developers of edge wanted to disadvantage visually impaired users, presumably for fun.
Whoever is in charge of Edge since v90 or so takes sadistic pleasure in doing things like removing or crippling features, adding nag screens and useless misfeafures that nobody would ever ask for, force-feeding Microsoft products and services and resetting, ignoring or removing user preferences, and wasting screen real-estate, compute resources and user's time.
Edge is now just as much of a virtual torture chamber as Internet Explorer was at it's worst, the only difference is that it doesn't collect browser toolbars like Pokémon.
Forget it and download a different browser just like you always have. Microsoft doesn't have a clue how to treat users with respect and they never will.

Read aloud is one of my favourite features under MS edge browser. I hope MS can bring the feature back.

HotCakeX On any Linux distro I've tried. It was there at one time, but was removed something like 2 years ago. By 'any' I can say for sure I've tried Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04, Elementary, and Pop!_OS. I think I've also tried Fedora just to do something different.
It's there on Windows and on Android.

It's not gone! It's always been in Edge browser. On which platform and/or website don't you see that feature?
