The open location command is an event in the Standard Additions Scripting Addition- not in the Finder. You can find that in the Dictionaries. The Ifo for open location states:
**********************************************
open location: Opens a URL with the appropriate program (your favorite browser)
open location plain text -- the URL to open
[error reporting boolean] -- should error conditions be reported in a dialog?
**********************************************

There is that reference to 'your favorite browser', which is there for a reason.

But note well that you can also write

tell app "NOT my favourite browser" to open location "URI"

This works with all the detestable browsers I have installed.
