True, but it was the innovator and early adopter community who were originally the first to embrace Google back in the late 90s/early 2000s. Don't want to lose them if at all possible, if only to keep them from migrating to some other cool new thing and building it up.

nontechnical people around me are turning for bing for search because its suddenly "cool" (also: that iphone app is actually cool!), or don't even use google AT ALL for most of their everyday stuff - people "tiktok" stuff now or play with that "ChatBot".

Between corporate users going all-in on microsoft software + apple hardware, people in private only really have one thing thats flocking them towards some google, and that is... android. This and the longform tiktoks called "youtube".
