Part of a problem is that main claimed benefit of DDG is that it will not behave like typical products designed for mainstream users.

Not really. The main claimed benefit is that it won't spy on you, which is one facet of what typical products designed for mainstream users do, but they're not primarily targeting the niche technical crowd.

In my area there were DuckDuckGo billboards along the interstate all last year. You don't buy interstate billboards unless you're targeting the mainstream.
