It all works! Simple and easy. I must correct myself! It does not work on IE. I tested it on a virtual machine, in which no pdf reader was installed yet. In that case the file is always downloaded.

It is not desirable that the PDF file lands in downloads folder. Some users who quickly review tens and hundreds of PDFs each day will quickly make their downloads folder messy.
It's okay no worries, Edge is new born so it still has rough edges, but trying different browsers like Firefox, reveals the shortcomings. Hi, I think Edge needs improvements there, you can send that PDF link along with a problem description as feedback using Edge feedback button and hopefully the devs will fix this in the future.
Firefox opens All PDF files internally by default, without exception, and if the user wants PDF files to be downloaded instead, they can go to the Firefox settings and change this behavior.

Chrome is a capable browser. Among the many useful things it can do is its ability to open a PDF file. It might seem trivial but there was once a time when good PDF readers were hard to come by. In Chrome, when you click on a link to a PDF file, it loads in the browser and you can read it.
Open Chrome and click the more options button at the top right.
