Search traffic is too sticky and Google has entrenched itself too much for quality to matter, which is the whole point of what the DOJ is arguing. No amount of enshittification will remove Google as the default iPhone browser.

I think this is the issue that Google will face. There may be better search engines out there but they are subscription or request monetized. Would I love to use one of them? Yes. Am I going to? No. I have too many subscriptions than I like as is. I know of them and won't use them. The average consumer has no idea they exist.
