You are right, and this needs to be fixed. Even the Bing Homepage treats it as Chrome.
Look at the "make Bing your homepage" link at the bottom. Now see what happens when I click on it.
Only Chrome, Firefox and IE are mentioned. If it isn't for Edge, why was the link there in the first place. I know there are other ways of setting Edge's homepage as Bing, but that link at the bottom should not have been there.

This is important so I would report it using feedback button on Edge too
- NamishBOct 27, 2020Iron ContributorThe link's been there for like years now, and I have reported multiple times both on Bing's Feedback section and on Edge.
Let's hope Microsoft finally fixes this. - WittycatOct 24, 2020Iron Contributor
HotCakeX no i think it's normal, since they follow strictly the useragent they cannot really see it's edge, and i want to let it like that, because if they can see it's edge, tracker can do too (so modify the message it's better than see it's edge)
- HotCakeXOct 24, 2020MVPbut Edge has its own user agent added to that long string in edge://version/
- WittycatOct 24, 2020Iron Contributoryes and it's because it seems they have chosen to change the user agent the worse thing they could have done to our privacy now all website can track easily if you use edge or not and let Google continue to add scary message when he see it's not chrome (exemple the store who said edge wasn't secure)
