Why is Edge x64 installed in "C:\Program Files (x86)".
Should it be better in "C:\Program Files"

2021-01-04T02:38:21.697+00:00 I just did a clean install of chrome and it installed in "C:\Program Files," Chromium Edge (same version as chrome 87) installs in "C:\Program Files (x86)."
Why would this not be fixed in the latest version of Edge Chromium?
Edit:
Missy Quarry, Community Manager for Microsoft Edge, has stated they will be following chrome. Hopefully soon. Thank you!
