That should be up to each user to decide but as always Mircrosoft knows better than you what’s best for you. This “new Outlook” is actually a web-wrapper from Outlook.com running in Edge - you will have to use Edge and you will have to be logged in to Microsoft account - this is most likely the reason why they’re doing it.
Even though you can use any browser, their point is still valid: it’s not an offline app, and it’s not up to Microsoft to decide what’s the best for their users.
At least we have the freedom to uninstall that crap and move on, I guess.

It’s a pwa, you can use any browser you want that supports pwa (which is, at least, all chromium based browsers).
I have Outlook PWA (via Chrome) and I don’t have Edge installed.
