If it doesn't matter that it's 'just the default' why is the DoJ so upset about Google paying to be the default?

You can't simultaneously argue that being the default is irrelevant and that it's bad to pay to be the default.

i'm not arguing that it's bad to pay to be the default. If the default service is worse than another people will switch to the other service. People install all kinds of apps on their phones, they can switch the default search engine too.
