Remember, it's not just about having/operating the aircraft - airports will also need to have the relevant infrastructure in place too.
I do agree with your view about EDI as a base and
Flightrider's earlier point about any
commercial deal for a second operator to join onto the EDI-SOU route surely being granted to easyJet and not Ecojet.
If an airline wants to start a route, and the airport is not slot restricted, there is not much they can do to stop them. Maybe they don’t offer incentives and such but it’s not like route licensing like some countries. There is nothing stopping EasyJet launching this route if they want to.
