Will Sims 3 be rendered unplayable in 2022 since the launcher depends on IE?

As indicated on the other thread, what Microsoft is trying to do among other things is shift what is currently running behind the scenes as IE to IE Mode under the cover of MS Edge. It doesn't matter which browser or search engines the players prefer to or can successfully use openly on the web, the Launcher and the game are going to use the assets of IE itself or IE Mode/Edge (when the time comes) as they need to, as per their programming.

I don't think that the sky is falling or that we have much to worry about. Yet. :)
