Those types of devices you mentioned are relatively all new, i don't really think they need IE to run. o.O
EVEN if by any chance they need the IE then you can just go ahead and USE Internet explorer that is already on Windows. i don't understand why you need to use it inside the new Edge. O.o

It seems a lot of Folks don't know or realise IE is in their OS. IE on its own... w/out any need to pull it up through any browser. It seems some people are aware that it is in their OS & always has been.
I am not certain if I have actually read it as in anything official... but, it sure is my hunch that once Edge is replaced by Edge C AND IE Mode is available for Enterprise, (actual) IE availability elsewhere would end. Its day are numbered & have been for a while.
The only reason it has lingered (after Edge came along... Edge was a replacement for IE) is for Enterprise. Ergo, w/ IE Mode for Enterprise, actual IE can be put out to pasture.
For general Users the issue is not a need a for old IE, but, a need for contemporary software... it's vendors & manufactures that need to climb out of the dark ages & not be giving people IE exclusive products. It's dumb of them to offer stuff (only) for a browser that is hot on the heels of the dodo bird.
