This is actually a good question. I suspect the answer is that the Chromium rendering engine is relatively bug free as it's used by several browsers now. It's the code around the rendering engine that's different for each browser and frankly, based on memory usage Google's is atrocious and bloated, which frequently translates into more bugs. These differences are why Google initially claimed that Edge wasn't as secure as Chrome because Edge doesn't use Google's security services.

The flip side of this is how many bugs in Edge are reported as bugs in the underlying Windows OS?
