IE and Edge are two different browsers. IE can be automated via COM, Edge cannot.
A big priority for other vendors is cross-platform compatibility. I don't know of any other platforms that support COM so there's no huge incentive to support it just for Windows.
From some brief research it looks like WebDriver is the cross-platform technology
du jour for browser automation:
https://www.w3.org/TR/webdriver/ . It looks like MS has some support for it in Edge on W10:
