I'm sure they're aware of it and 'intend' to fix it, but given the often consumer-hostile tactics MSFT is fond of using to shove Bing, Edge, and other products down users' throats, and the fact that this issue, in its current form, happens to align with those goals, I wouldn't be surprised to learn it's not being treated as high priority.
