And unproductive. We should judge each company by each own demerits, not excuse Microsoft's behaviour with Google's and vice versa!

It doesn't sound like mister_hn is excusing Microsoft's behaviour. It's just that, if people think Google is the "victim" here, they are completely wrong. They both have little regard for a user's preference.

People think the end users are the victim here. This equally applies if my default search engine is something else. Bing is still going to override it.

Because the "don't be evil" in this case doesn't apply, speaking of browsers
