Many malware hijack search settings. However, very few hijack default browsers themselves these days. In the past (10 years ago) it was much more common.
Furthermore, I don't know of many malware that touch the .PDF file extension associations, and there are plenty of other associations that would be better to hijack.
Feels more like a sloppy fix to comply with EU's DMA.
