Great infomhuellwegen
I don't have access, for example, to Acrobat Pro, to play with PDF metadata. I'll get a bug/request on this this morning.

I have the following version:
Version 87.0.664.75 (Official build) (64-bit)
And am seeing the same issue with a PDF working correctly in Google Chrome, but not in Edge (ie Chrome displays the correct title, while Edge displays the filename).
For reference, this can be tested using PDFLatex (via Overleaf) by using the following in the header of the document.
\usepackage[pdftex,
pdfauthor={Auth Name},
pdftitle={A random - title},
pdfsubject={rand sub},
pdfkeywords={keyword},
pdfproducer={},
pdfcreator={}]{hyperref}
Then, after saving the PDF as a different name than in the field "pdftitle," opening the same file in Edge and Chrome can reveal the differing behaviors.

TIA
