What would they compare the MD5 against? This would mean having all the MD5 files of all the software on all the internet baked right into edge. Or they would have to configure (probably multiple) repositories of known good MD5s to check against. All that’s quite a lot of work just to save you from having to click “Yes” once more.
If you really want to only use software that MS deems safe, why not use the Microsoft store instead of downloading the software yourself?
