You're literally injecting ads for your own products into web forms.
You could argue that people might think that "injecting ads" means "injecting 3rd party ads", and that wouldn't (currently) be true. But if you're not allowed to say that you are injecting ads, when you are injecting ads, that's super gray zone: Don't say we're doing X (we're doing X) because it makes us sound like we're doing X+1!
I switched from DuckDuckGo to https://searx.be/ https://searx.be/ during the outbreak of the Ukrainian war because DuckDuckGo started censoring Russian sites [1].
Email proxies may be seen as a privacy protection, but it comes with a vendor lock-in: You cannot reset the password for that service without DuckDuckGo now. So those ads have commercial value to DuckDuckGo, you're no goodie two-shoes here.
