This is why they are cornered. They cant afford a different phone OS. You cant remove the Google search bar from the home screen. Google forces/tricks you into using their services, keeping location tracking on, etc.....

Im surprised you find Bing worse than google? In the US, the first page of google results in almost all ads, or search results close but not really what you searched for (even with an ad blocker). I dont have an answer for non-US but I just find it interesting.

As someone who went from Google to Duckduckgo to now Ecosia have to say I have no issues using Ecosia with the bing backend, do I wish I got a great result first time everytime? sure but it's not like I was getting that with Google either
