Minecraft website redirects users in Brazil to pt-PT instead of pt-BR

When accessing the Minecraft website from a device located in Brazil, the geolocation feature redirects the user to the Portuguese version of the page (https://www.minecraft.net/pt-pt/), which is meant be used in Portugal. Instead, it should redirect the user to the Brazilian Portuguese version (https://www.minecraft.net/pt-br/), which, right now, is practically useless, since it's only accessible by manually editing the URL.

I should point out that, despite both variations of the language being very similar, there are still significant differences, which could affect the comprehension and user experience of Brazilian players. (That's the reason the website is translated to both dialects in the first place).

Did you ever change the language on minecraft.net manually? If so, the website will always remember your last choice and sends you to the language version you manually selected last.

I don't remember having changed it, but in any case, I just tested on a different device and the same thing happened.

I gotten worse: It is now redirecting to /es-es/. That said, I just opened it in private mode and it was in /pt-pt/.
To answer violine, it is not remembering my last choice or if I made login so, at least for me it is not because I somehow selected Spanish before.
I'm using Desktop Edge in Windows 10
