Apple is not about giving the user control. it is about damaging competitors. My guess is that they were testing a new search engine, and since they gave that up/wasn't done in time/turned too expensive, they just put duck duck there. or maybe they didn't even tried... anway, that does not matter. Since the point was not to have a search engine, it was to not have google by default until google pay it up to be there. ...the fact that you hope apple will relinquish control of any aspect of your mac/ios usage is cute.
