Is it? Apple's Siri lets you choose your search engine.

Does it? I don't think changing the search engine for Safari affects Siri, but I could be wrong. I don't see a setting for Siri.

Not really, a lot of Siri query types are served by Bing and there is no way to change that.

Because Apple doesn't make its own search engine.

If Apple did, that wouldn't excuse them. If they can integrate other search engines now, they can still do so if they had their own.
