Uninstall Bing? When did Bing become an installable thing?
They probably mean your browser/search engine settings will actually be respected, instead of what sometimes happens now where you can have set everything to not use bing or edge but still certain MS software will launch a search in edge, using bing.

Didn’t we do this already back in the 90s with IE bundling??

What happens if you uninstall edge and you don't have any other browsers?
How do you reinstall it or install a different one without a secondary computer?
Download file from another system.
Use wget in powershell to download it in same system.
Use winget to install browser.
