It's a mistery to me why Microsoft does not do the simple and obvious thing to siphon of a gazillion users from Google:

Just offer a simple clean interface to Bing + ChatGPT.

Without all the visual clutter and dark patterns.

Why do they keep the foot on the break by adding all that nonsense to their search engine?

Google is bringing in $160 Billion a year with their clean search result pages.

Why does Microsoft think they need to play clumsy tricks and add stuff on top of the search results to make a buck?

I see more users coming to my sites via DuckDuckGo - which searches via Bing - than via Bing itself. And that while Bing is the default search engine on the majority of new desktops and laptops out there. And the default search engine on many new tablets. Plus they have ChatGPT integration. It's just ming boggling how Microsoft wastes all that power with a bad UI.
