Edge Link Sharing Misfire with Outlook Desktop

I’m an Outlook desktop user (the classic O365 version) with a default email address that’s different than my MS account address.

Until recently, if you hit the Share button in Edge in order to share a link, it would bring up a sheet that included “Default Email Program” or something like that. It also showed “Outlook” as an option, but in this case “Outlook” referred to the watered down default version that comes with W11 and not the O365 Desktop client.

Well, now in the latest version of Edge, the “Default Email Program” option is no longer available. There’s no apparent way to share a link directly from Edge to the desktop version of Outlook. Instead, you can share a link to “Outlook”, but that is apparently the webmail version of Outlook, which in my case uses the wrong email address.

Which means copying the link from Edge, opening a new Outlook email, and pasting the link manually.

Seriously? And why are both apps referred to as Outlook, when they are completely different apps?

Enshitification, indeed.
