That's just corpo-speak. For the most part, Duckduckgo is Bing with some additional features. That's true to the extent that when Bing decided to censor the Tank Man image, it was removed from your results too. [1] Not that you guys refrain from censorship yourselves. [2]
The crawler (DuckDuckBot) doesn't have much of an impact on the search results, it's mainly used to provide instant answers. [3]
