Older MacOS versions had stuff like the chess game preinstalled for no reason, though I don’t know how current versions look like.
I also don’t know how easy it is to remove preinstalled apps nowadays. Back in the day, you could disable System Integrity Protection, remove whatever you want, and re-enable Protection afterwards.
That chess game even predates OS X, it was a tech demo that came with the NextStep OS and has barely changed since the mid nineties. At this point it would be said to see it go.
Shouldn’t the same be applied to MacOS? There are a myriad of stupid apps impossible to uninstall. Maybe even safari

I remember Mac os ignoring my default browser choice many times and instead launching a web page in safari.

Does Mac prohibit other browser engines like they do on iOS?
Doesn’t do a lot of good, that they let you use other browsers if they are just reskins for Safari.
MacOS is actually far more open to low level system UI tweaks and app support than windows.
They do not.
True, I forgot that part. Thanks! Still, it comes as weird for me to have software (zero tied to OS functions ) I cannot remove
Mac literally doesn’t allow any other browser engine. They only allow webkit.
So your options are:
Safari
Safari with Chrome aesthetics
Safari with Firefox aesthetics
Safari with [insert browser here] aesthetics

The odd thing is that some of them are uninstallable on iOS/iPadOS…
