It also makes it consistent with "New Tab" which opens with the current URL.

Opening a new instance via launcher will still open a new window with the URL specified in Startup settings.  This is the behavior in Windows 10 file explorer.  The advantage is this gives the user a way to open a new window with the current URL(New Window) as well as a new window with URL specified in Startup settings(new instance) whereas currently, there isn't an easy way to open a new window with the current URL.  You'd have to either open a new window and copy and paste the URL, or open a new tab(which opens with the same URL) and detach it.  I'd much rather have the new window open with the current URL and if what I wanted was the Startup URL I could easily get there as it's alread
