I like this idea, but I imagine it could be seen as anti competitive for Google to do this... I know it would motive me to use an Android phone, but that might not help Google case of being a none monopoly player... Also I could see Apple firing back by removing Google as their primary search engine inversely impacting Google search ads revenue... So definitely I think Apple has the upper hand. Although I do not believe Apple is honest in their privacy stance... Native apps IMO are far far less private then a browser application...

Google is the default search engine on iOS because they pay Apple $7 billion annually for the privilege, I don't think they're going to be strongly motivated to pull the plug on that
