Addon and bridge don't work with default config

Description
I installed the add on and then installed the bridge according to the docs.
I would expect from a multi component project like this, that if I install both components, everything will work without me having to tweak the config.
This is not the case as of now. In order to make the addon connect to the bridge I had to customize the addon settings and enable the backup daemon connection.
Questions that arise:
- why is running the bridge with defaults seen as
a backup daemon? Where can I get the real bridge which is not a backup? - if the backup daemon thing is what I need by default, why is it not turned on by default?
- why does this option even exist?
Expected behavior
- Install the addon
- Install the bridge
- Everything just works

The normal way the extension communicates with the bridge is via the native messaging extension API. If the bridge is installed properly, there shouldn't be any need for any config changes.
If you're using the snap version (or similar), that's what the backup is for, and requires additional config.
