Because you are clearly wrong.

Forgive me for being blunt, I just think it’s a bit obvious: they have grown through means other than someone going to google.com and typing “Pinterest.”

I can think of a dozen reasons why that would be the case. Google Trends does not match 1:1 popularity, usage, or growth of all products.

Personally, I’m only a casual Pinterest user and have no stake in this, but the service has gotten a lot better over the last couple years.

Fun fact: It's a great place for black people when it comes to hair styles and hair care, surprisingly one of the best places. Google search can't even compare.

I'm not surprised that Google search can't compare considering the fact how hard Pinterest is working on making it useless.

Google is doing a reasonably good job of making their search useless on their own. I rarely have to switch from DDG to find anything anymore, and when I do I'm frequently disappointed.
