Apple could spin up a better search engine than Google in a swirley. The big question is why haven't they!?

They already have one -- it's the iOS spotlight Web search

Because they can't do it "in a swirly." It took them many years and a tremendous amount of money for Apple Maps to not be laughably bad.

They can absolutely build a solid search engine with enough money and time, but what would be gained? It's better to just collect Google's checks.

Why can't they do it? A tiny boot strapped company like Kagi has already made a much better search engine than Google. Are no good engineers working at Apple, or what is missing in the equation?

> but what would be gained?

People needing to buy an Apple device to reap the benefits of the internet, as Google continues to sink into their SEO-optimized malware swamp.
