"DDG doesn't have local results "
(1) Many people don't search local often.
(2) People can type their location in the search engine for local results.
(3) There are alternatives like Yelp as you mention.
"DDG doesn't have recent news"
(4) !gn
(5) DDG doesn't give me news links when I'm not looking for them.
"DDG does not have the coverage to answer a narrow technical question"
(6) Google wins on your example but the answer for your example can most certainly be found in one of the top links on DDG.
(7) !so > site:stackoverflow.com
...
(8) "Duck Duck Go is a good search engine" is not incompatible with "Google has better search results than DDG" or "Google has faster search results than DDG".
