I believe, the behaviour is different, depending on where you're from. In the EU, Microsoft is comparatively well-behaved. In the US, they're extra icky.

It never reset the setting for me either, but it definitely doesn't always respect your wishes. It just goes ahead and opens certain links in edge despite the setting.

Maybe I also clicked an I agree button inadvertently, but I never intentionally set edge as default
