>Edge is not a Native UWP application - whatever that means

My assumption is that it is compiled with .NET Native[0]. That would explain why it is only available on Windows 10, as only Windows 10 supports .NET Native.

It's not, it's written in C++


You mean C++ with Windows Runtime Library, which makes it a UWP application.


Well ok then, disregard my comment.
