Like corporations would pass on literally tens of billions of dollars (yearly) just because they are big.

Unless Apple had it's own competing search service they have no reason to pass on that much money unless it becomes a huge liability.

I guess you’re right. And maybe most is their users are fine (or prefer) to use Google search, so that’s even a plus for Apple.
