The only thing that concerns me is that for security reasons it does not encrypted the website address and leaves them for anyone that is snooping to see.....
 
But then again, does it really matter....

your computer should have password or PIN to prevent unauthorized access.
cookies are already visible in here: edge://settings/siteData
History and Favorites and lots of other pieces of data can reveal info about you as well.
those people you are talking about, if they have access to your computer, your bank website will be the least thing you need to worry about.
so all you have to do is to keep your whole device safe, with a password or PIN which Windows 10 has them.
