Google has an unseen network effect...

Their search results are good because they do machine learning on data from all their other users.

A lesser-used search engine has less data, so even if they have smarter people and a better algorithm, the search results will probably be inferior.

That is fair. However, I still argue that it is not nearly as strong as it is easy for me to switch from google search to bing as most of my search results won't really change as they are basic searches but it is incredibly painful to switch social media networks as you have to rebuild your individual content and network connections for the new sight.

I actually have set Bing as my default search on my phone

... and let me tell you Bing is not nearly as good as Google when it comes to bringing me the right search results first.

But I got tired of Google asking me to “prove that I’m not a robot” by tapping on roads and street signs with every new search. I use incognito mode, and since they can’t track me, they either are punishing me or just automatically assume I’m not human.
