Being built on Windows' own rendering engine, it's largely relying on Windows' own updates to keep it secure.

I wonder if this is because of their ads partnership they have with Microsoft atm, they kept that avenue open by relying on their engines and security updates??

It's built on Blink, which is Google's rendering engine. Trident, the rendering engine Microsoft created, died when they gave up on Edge.
