it doesn’t.
i uninstalled it on all of my machines and haven’t seen it ever since.
same applies to edge, i uninstalled it in 2021 and it only came back once (after the major copilot backport update, which restructured the way windows 10 handles edge (legacy edge got completely removed)), a month ago in 2024, uninstalled it and it’s still gone.
Windows defender is a real bitch tho, can’t get rid of it no matter what
