Yes, the pop-up is annoying and Microsoft shouldn't do that. But also popping-up the message over a game seems to be a UI glitch. And I'm not sure even what "malware-like" means: A lot of malware uses pop-ups, but pop-ups are not unique to malware. Also a borderless pop-up with rounded corners, perfectly positioned over the system notifications area is quite malware-unlike.
Finally, the pop-up does not try to get people to ditch Chrome but switch to using Bing as the default Chrome search engine. Which is low quality reporting, if not biased reporting. (This has been corrected in the meantime but original title is still preserved in the HN title.)
