There's an explanation here, as least partly:

https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2015/01/inside-microsofts-new-rendering-engine-project-spartan/

  They forked IE, then stripped the risky functionality
and anything that wasn't standards-compliant. Then
they started adding in newer functionality. All in a
sandboxed security framework.
  Of course, that's the official story. It doesn't explain
why so many people seem to dislike Edge and why it's
sunk almost out of sight in terms of usage.

  But I think this article explains the basic strategy:
Create a safe browser that can compete on standards
compliance while also leaving IE in place for corporate
use.
