Haven't you run into the ""bug"" where certain Microsoft programs open links in Edge, completely disregarding default browser settings?

Assuming you haven't turned off web results in Win11 start menu, try searching for something and click on one of the Bing results. Those used to open Edge, and it certainly wasn't the only program that ignored user preferences.

Yeah I disabled web results because I don't like that it slows down search and I would never actually use start menu to search the web.
