In practice you don’t use that many, and also for most of what I use I’d have to create additional custom “bangs” anyway. For me it’s a browser-level feature (this has been present in browsers from very early on), independent of which search engine I use. And unless a search prefix actually maps to a search engine search, the search engine service has no business of knowing what I query. Better keep it separate.

That's true, but I don't use all 13,000 bangs. It would be impossible for me to remember that many anyway. I should have said "the bangs that I actively use" instead of most of them. Looks like I have 32 keywords bookmarked like that, around 20 of which I use regularly. The search url's are quite stable, I don't remember ever having to update one. But I'm sure it will happen occasionally.
