I’m in the US and I chose DDG from the iOS default search engine list.

Google, Yahoo, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and Ecosia are my choices.

Not sure why Amazon & Apple don’t have search engines of their own. Don’t they have this infra?

Amazon used to have a separate web search product, but they shuttered that effort a while ago.

Back in 2006: https://web.archive.org/web/20060416033344/http://a9.com/-/h...

Since then, they've doubled down on product search for amazon.com.
