Update to Edge Mac has warning which redirects to install Google Chrome

When I just did an update to the Edge browser (Version 114.0.1823.37 (Official build) (x86_64)) on my Mac, I got this page:

Note the wording in the banner at the top:

"To get future Microsoft Edge updates, you’ll need MacOS 10.15 or later. This computer is using macOS 10.14. "

The "Learn more" link, which can't be copied and doesn't show the target site, goes to a page to install Google Chrome*:*

"Download & install Google Chrome - Computer - Google Chrome Help"

https:// support. google. com/chrome/answer/95346?visit_id=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx&p=unsupported_mac&rd=1#sysreq_mac&zippy=%2Cmac

Why is an update to Microsoft Edge giving me a warning about the macOS version, and redirecting me to install Google Chrome?

    The link to the Feedback Hub appears to be only for users of Windows 10 and Windows 11. I'm on a Mac. When I click on the blue "Open Feedback Hub" links at the page you posted a link for I get a new page which has a URL of "about:blank".

    From Wikipedia, Feedback Hub appears to be a Windows application.

    I had already provided feedback from within Edge, and at https://support.microsoft.com/contactus before posting here.

    This does seem like something Microsoft might want to address sooner rather thank later, as it's embarrassing.

    It also comes across as an insecurity in Microsoft Edge.
