New Edge Browser for Surface Hub

Is there going to be a version of the new Chromium based Edge browser for the Surface Hub?  If so, is there a timeline on when that would be released?  I know only apps from the Microsoft store can be installed on the Hub but if Microsoft is moving from classic Edge to Chromium Edge, I would hope they'd support the Surface Hub.

      The Surface Hub in 1st generation are a 55" and 83" Touch screen device for offices to use for SfB, Teams and other meetings in a conference room. They have a special version of Windows 10 called Windows 10 Team. The second generation just came out this past summer called 2S and currently they have a 50" device and next summer an 85" device will be coming out. Here is a link to the new devices https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/business/surface-hub-2

        Also, only apps from Windows App store can be installed on these devices and so you can't just download and install any 32-bit or 64-bit programs.
