Google's payment to Apple isn't advertisement. It's to prevent Apple from rolling their own search engine, or selling the default to the next highest bidder.

Putting their search in front of people instead of others is advertisement. It doesn't prevent apple from doing anything.
Apple has a business agreement to use Google search, and it seems it is a similar agreement to what they made to OpenAI - we as Apple will use your service by default, we pay you nothing, and we take a percentage of your monetization.
