I knew Google paid Apple a lot for default search engine status, but seeing it put this way was still crazy:

Google pays Apple Inc. 36% of the revenue it earns from search advertising made through the Safari browser

This is why everyone (Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, OpenAI) wants a hardware platform. They want to own the access point, because value accrues there.

Defaults are powerful. And the device can set the defaults.

Lately. Not sure if the rise in frequency is because of the anti-trust trial or because LLM chat interfaces have shown a 10 blue links alternative.
