In short, Edge WebView2 allows developers to embedded web content into their applications and is used by various applications on Windows. So, it's a program that's used by other programs and removing it can cause other apps and features to stop working.

Here's a public documentation regarding it being delivered to the managed devices for Windows 10 https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2022/12/14/delivering-microsoft-edge-webview2-runtime-to-managed-windows-10-devices/

For Windows 11, it's already part of the operating system.
