It got installed edge on an android phone as well.

While Microsoft doesn't normally control anything on android, my workplace requires a Microsoft intune to be installed to run the company email or teams on your phone. This effectively creates a workprofile with it's own play store and a forced install of several applications such as edge

That's your workplace doing that, not Microsoft

Yeah seems like a request for a work provided phone would fix it. A guy I used to work with bought a burner flip phone when something like this was required and got the company to provide a work phone. After a month or two he would just openly use his normal phone and no one batted an eye.
