You should see the exact same behaviour in reverse, as well - with Fenix installed as a default browser, a tab sent to Fennec will open in Fenix.
When we're creating a "received tab" pending intent for the notification, we're essentially just saying - open this URL in the app that's most suitable. A default browser is quite suitable. Aso, if you send a google maps tab, we'll likely just open it google maps and not in one of our browsers.
So I'd say this functions as designed.
