This is all so dumb. So many options for Apple here. If they lose this case they could:
Include a “choose your search provider” during Safari startup. Or prompt during setup assistant. Apple still gets paid, but note by all the search engines, and now it’s the customer’s choice.
Start their own search engine. They have all the pieces already. Push the privacy angle, sell ads like they do in the App Store and news apps.
Although I appreciate your effort, we absolutely do not want apple further vertically integrate. Please read about it in the sidebar. These companies are cancer and need breaking up desperately.
