Good for them. They don't have to but they chose to. What they have done (perform around 100M searches a day) is phenomenal. Testament to their marketing. Unfortunately as a search engine, it's still just a skin of another one, with some additional small scale projects attached. It's slightly surprising that DDG hasn't attempted to become a 'real' search engine, rather than being a meta. At the moment they make a subset of Bing's revenue per search, never mind what Google make.
