I hear that a lot, but search results differ for me between Bing and DDG. Bing is definitely a major component of its results, but I doubt it’s the only part.

Yeah, if you compare Bing with DDG and Ecosia you will see that the results are identical to Bing on Ecosia but differ on DDG (although obviously a major component as you say). Ecosia is a true proxy while DDG has some internal ranking mechanism.
