IMHO there shouldn't be Apple/Amazon/Google/IBM companies as they are today. I want Google and other companies be splitted to AdWords, GoogleSearch, YouTube, Android, Waymo companies. And they should not use their dominant/monopolistic position in search/ads areas to get unfair advantage in other areas.

So you would have to choose your investment between Android/Apple/WinMobile OS, AdWords/AdMob ads, Waymo/Cruise cars, Google/Yahoo/DuckDuckGo search, YouTube/Vimeo videos.

Including DuckDuckGo in your list of search companies exposes one of core issues that makes this idea unworkable. DuckDuckGo is basically just a skin that shells out to Bing, Yandex, or Google.
