Familiarity and trust are really important when there's a cost to switching (buy this $35000 car or that one), when training is non-trivial, or when you have privacy concerns. I don't see that mattering at all when it comes to, say, ChatGPT vs Gemini. Google has a much more recognizable brand, the quality of the results and the interface itself are essentially identical, trust is not a factor at all (I assume both are collecting my data regardless of what they say).
