As a search provider. That’s the essence of the complaint, Google abusing their dominant position in search engines. Goggle’s defense is that everyone has a choice.
Android vs iOS is yet to come, but likely in Europe first.

PS, completely off-topic but if you put g! at the end of your search string ddg will return google’s results but you aren’t tracked by google.

Well, you didn’t add the most obvious answer: Google is the market leader because their search works. It has 20years of usage data of me, so the algorithm delivers much better results than any other engine.
