I’ve switched some default apps in Android 9, but they’re occasionally resetting back to the preinstalled system options. How do I prevent it and why does it even happen?

If you never go outside, the chances of stepping in a turd are none.
The device is clearly connected to the internet. They are going outside. Stupid analogy.
You don’t get malware simply by being connected to the internet.
If you always stay inside i.e. don’t install anymore apps, stay on known websites, use your own mobile data, you have to be targeted specifically. Most people are just not important enough for the latter.
That’s how people who just want some basic functions from their phone get to skip the planned obsolescence cycle.
And here’s a vulnerability thats unpatched on Android 9 which can be taken advantage of by literally any app. It even works in some older Android web browsers.
TapTrap
You want to skip planned obsolescence? Install Lineage, Iode, or /e/. They all still receive updates for devices that have not been officially supported for years.
Dogs and cats can live in that same home, so yeah you could still step on a turd.
It’s you decision to bring them in your house. You don’t have to.
