Apple comes with Google Search as the default, and several other options. So it's a moot point.

You may note that Apple only put Google as the default search because Google paid them a billion dollars to do so. And Google's super mad Oracle told everyone, because it shatters the illusion that people use Google because it's better.

People use Google because most people use the default, and Google pays to be the default.
