I was suspended from using Google search last year for 48 hours. All because my query used the advanced search features that Google themselves document - like, I was just reading the Google docs, tried one query and boom "you have been blocked from Google search". I was 1 full day without Google search. I could not search for anything anywhere, not my phone, my laptop, nothing. That night I switched to DuckDuckGo. Two days later, I was unblocked from Google search and use it again. That was the moment where I started migrating all my services from google into independent providers. What if, instead of blocking my use of Google search, they block my GMail ? Calendar ? Google Home ? Android phone?.... I end up out of my house, without the ability to go in, without the ability to search for how to fix it, or to call somebody or message somebody with my home for help, maybe logged out of my car, etc. etc. etc. For me, avoiding such risks is more valuable than having a better search experience.
