And not just much less overall...

Mozilla is supposedly getting ~$400M/year. Which is $115M per percentage point of marketshare. The $15B for Apple is $804M per percentage point of marketshare.

Which I suppose makes sense, as iPhone users probably automatically fall into a high income demographic.

Even if a user pivots from Safari, keeping Google as the default is keeping it as the default in the minds of users as they move to a different browser.
