I guess I mean this as a semi-defense of Google, even though I don't like them and use DDG personally. When doing a search on travel, what are the odds you get not-garbage in your results? Compare, say, 2000 to 2020. I can see a scenario in which Google was committed to providing open results, but those open results slowly became garbage, and they felt compelled to launch their own tool to ensure good results. And sure, it puts profit in their pocket too, of course.
