The search algorithm for the "msstore" source will try to find a "best match" and offer that back. Since there is no "best match" in the default "winget" source, the one chosen by the "msstore" source is defaulted. If there had been a package in the "winget" source with the exact name or moniker, you would have seen the disambiguation message.
