Either they've filtered out porn sites or they have a long way to go in terms of adoption.

I think porn sites are already filtered by Google. Kagi doesn't have it's own search, it is just layer over Google search.

Not just Google, they use Bing and Yandex(?, might be something else) too, I think.

Kagi does have its own search index of niche sites, they even have an API for it. This is combined with Google results; they used to combine with Bing as well but stopped due to Microsoft charging too much money.

Very different from DuckDuckGo and Startpage which are still just a Bing proxy and a Google proxy respectively.

You are correct. Kagi is more than a Google proxy.
