I downloaded MicrosoftSettings.exe and ran it on my test PC. The installer is 22.2MB. I have Chrome and Brave set up with their own defaults, and searching from either pulled up Google and Brave Search respectively.

The first screen is titled “Welcome to Microsoft Recommended Search Settings,” with a toggle already switched to “Yes” for setting Bing as your search engine. Small text underneath says the change applies to Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome.

Installing Firefox takes like 3 minutes, you couldn't spin up one more browser for science?
