why doesn’t Windows make it a default to put IE, or any browser, only in a user accounts?

I don’t like Edge because I’m not allowed to modify it like I can IE.
Why won’t they let user at least modify it’s settings to make it more secure?

I assume profit is involved.

That's partly it. The other parts are:

• Unwillingness to "break" existing customer websites, applications, and customer revenue models, and
• Inability to fix architectural flaws without breaking things.

Microsoft's products still suffer from the mistakes made in the early years, when "COOL" was everything and "SECURITY" was nothing.
