My point isn't about privacy. If you really are that privacy-obsessed, than building your own meta-search might be the best option for you. For me, I like the fact the DDG's meta-search is incredibly well featured, with instant answers, and many backends for that, its search, and !bangs. So if I'm not that obsessive about privacy, why would I go to the trouble for a weaker search with less features?
