Beginning in late June, Microsoft began pushing the Chromium-based Microsoft Edge to Windows 10. The update is delivered with KB4559309, and once installed, the Chromium-based Edge replaces the old Edge, and the Uninstall button is light gray and can't be clicked.

Microsoft has started delivering Microsoft Edge to users of Windows via Windows Update. The update is provisioned for users of Windows 10 version 1803 and above, and replaces the classic Edge app once installed. The browser, when delivered with KB4559309, makes it impossible to uninstall it from Settings.
Once installed, the update replaces the classic Edge and hides it from the app list. Check out how to have them installed side-by-side.
The change affects only consumer editions of Windows 10. Enterprise user have to install it manually, or deploy it using MSI installers.
I hope this helps!
