I'd like to see a citation that Apple users are more likely to not change settings than average users. Most people don't enjoy configuring systems and leave most of the defaults most of the time.

Sure, this changes Safari's default search engine. Siri will still return Google results. Ask Siri "Do a web search for {search query}" and you'll see google'logo at the bottom of the list.
