The beauty of using something like the Windows Camera app or OBS is that you don't have to mix them later. They record the audio from the USB mic right along with the video from the camera in one video file.

You only need video editing software if you are capturing video with one device (e.g. your phone) and better audio with another (e.g. mic plugged into a USB audio interface being recorded with a DAW). Then you need the extra software to combine the separate audio and video files.

(Of course, video editing software can be helpful to trim the clip ends, add titles, etc., even if you have audio & video in the same file.)
