I don't understand your comment.
Search engine providers provide results as json page without decoration. Everything about the user experience is controlled by the code converting that json into display. This is what DDG does.
Everything about the user experience is controlled by the 'front end' which is making a call to the search engine service on its 'back end'.
The only difference here is how much tracking/PII is part of the request that is sent to the search engine. I was saying you can test that by comparing Siri results with those obtained through a web browser which is forwarding cookies full of PII and tracking information.
