MODERATORS
As a Linux aficionado, I appreciate you trying to bring an argument for Windows in good faith and a potential way for Microsoft to improve it. This is even if steering people to Bing is Microsoft's intention with this move so they are unlikely to improve it in the way you suggested.
Since forever, Microsoft-affiliated products are often the only things that get the "trusted" label within the Microsoft ecosystem.
Yeah it’s not ideal. I just don’t see a world where Microsoft will set people’s search engine to DuckDuckGo
