This all reminds me of Bing. It already lost the technology race, but it serves MS's own interests to keep it around, apparently.

It's a service they sell to eg DuckDuckGo and ecosia. I think the og bing is just there because they still think Google may fall out of favour one day. Oh and they offer a corp version spiced up with internal results from SharePoint.
I think they also make money from people that don't know the difference and use it because, for instance, it's the default in Edge when you search from the URL bar.
