Can you explain this behavior a little bit more. Where do they seek information - is it a consumer chat app, social media app’s search functions?

Bing because it's the default on their web browsers they've used in college and work.

But moreso - whatever the default is what they use. They have zero attachment to Google.

I noticed that website doesn't show the absolute numbers involved in search engine use.

And you ignored the part where I said "they use the default".

Google search is bad because there aren't any websites anymore. It's not really possible for it to be good.

Comments like this make me wonder if we're all inhabiting the same reality.

That's for multiple reasons - many of them directly being Google's fault with intentional choices made towards this end.
