Why would they be desperate for using another search engine when Google pays them $8 billion+ a year?

Because Google makes enough money on ads from Google search to spend $8 billion on making it the default search on iOS devices
Apple is mostly a focused company. There is no money in search except advertising and user tracking. Apple has already completely failed at advertising once.

Yes I realize that the App Store has ads and it is a stain that should not have ever happened.
