No, that would be rather confusing.
But you've reminded me that you can't use Emacs as a MIME handler for
URLs, and that should really be possible.
So I've added the trivial eww-browse command to Emacs 28.1, so that you
can now say
$ emacs -f eww-browse https://gnu.org
and register Emacs as a handler for the text/x-uri MIME type with
emacs -f eww-browse %u
