Why is this becoming more and more close to Edge's homepage?

News feeds seem to be a symptom of enshittifiaction. At least you can still get a functional and minimalist homepage on Firefox by disabling it.

Remember Google Now, that "homepage for you" on Android that showed you the weather, reminders, calendar events, etc... But eventually Google removed all the functionality and replaced it with an infinite feed of news slop.

Slop. Feed. Rather synonymous.

You can do that on Edge too btw.
