Yes, that's perfectly reasonable.

Or does Windows show a choice screen for you to choose your Web browser of choice? Surely not, they want you to use Edge. Still, one can use another browser easily.

It's funny you bring this as an argument as I constantly get asked about "the weird dialogue" when you install a third party browser. "What do I do? I don't understand." ... A great counter example to good choice actually.

Funnily the EU mandated that Microsoft shows a dialog with browser choice for many years: https://readwrite.com/ec-imposes-731-million-fine-for-micros...
