Have you noticed the new Chromium-based Edge browser via [Update & security] apparently COMPLETELY replaces the old Edge browser?

Have you noticed the new free Chromium-based Edge browser
[Update & security Check for updates [Download]
apparently COMPLETELY replaces the old Edge browser?

I wasn't thinking about it all that much, when, yesterday, I clicked on:
o Settings Update & security [Check for updates] [Download]

Which installed the new Edge Chromium-based browser.
o After rebooting, it seems to have (completely?) replaced the old Edge

I wasn't expecting that since I wasn't expecting anything other than adding
yet-another freeware browser to fit my browser philosophy:
o Discussion of two different privacy-related browser philosophies

Since I didn't expect the new Edge to _replace_ the old Edge, I didn't
document the details of how it did that (apparently).

At least on cursory inspection, it "appears" that this new Edge Browser
obtained from the typical "Check for updates", completely replaced the old
Edge browser.

Is that the case?
o Have you experienced the same thing recently?

NOTE: I had previously manually downloaded the Chromium Edge browser which
did NOT replace the old Edge Browser, where I like to have as many browsers
as I need to since each browser does one site type and one site type only.
