Your assuming everyone understands how default apps work. And you are forgetting that most people get intimidated by the popups trying to get you not to change the default.
It is complete enshitification if you ask me. There should be no reason why a application can’t have a button to make it the default.
It’s possible that I’ve been lucky, and my experience of end users when it comes to Windows lately have been using it since Windows 10 which strongly pushed the Default Apps configuration vs previous versions. The world is a big place after all
Maybe I’m just over reacting. But people like us deal directly or indirectly with the fallout of such madness. I hope that the DOJ goes after Microsoft at some point soon or at least scares them a little.

Certainly wouldn’t hurt them, the fear of God never hurts an international company
