I don't disagree that Bing can give great results and is better than google in at least a few areas and use cases. So I probably painted with a broad brush in that subjective statement. I do think the point that the bing results (at least for my location) are objectively worse (considering why most would make such a search) compared to google when looking for emergency healthcare information.

Primarily I use duck duck even if I occasionally fall back to the !g command. But I think anyone who is able to change their default search engine in chrome could not then argue that microsoft changing the default impeded them from easily searching for information (which would be important in any legal action). So while ddg is a great search engine I don't think it needs to be considered in the thought experiment of reasons you could sue microsoft for this change.
