So really it's just a loss for everyone all around. But at least nobody is being anti-competitive I guess.

  Except Apple and Mozilla for whom it’s a huge part of their profits/revenue respect

    Deals are mutually beneficial. If Apple and Mozilla were both taking Google's offer it's because neither felt they had more to gain from developing their own search engine to compete outright in the meantime or from offering someone else's as a default. There might be something to the argument Mozilla isn't in a position to reject the money because they're sort of a shambling corpse at this point but Apple is about as far from a desperate company as you can get.
