Probably because they don’t have a way to replace the built in web view with one from another browser (yet)? So they are now bookmarks that open in the user’s default browser, which may not be WebKit backed (complying with the law).
Smells like a bug, or something they had to rush out the door (although I’d bet wholesale replacing the default engine for web views would break stuff)

In the text of the DMA it says "When gatekeepers operate and impose web browser engines, they are in a position to determine the functionality and standards that will apply not only to their own web browsers, but also to competing web browsers and, in turn, to web software applications" which was written to show the intention of the browser engine change was to facilitate web apps.
