How would apple monetize this search engine? I don’t completely trust Apple with doing ads as they already do plenty of self-dealing with their own ad system. If anything, they should jedison their ad product altogether.

What sort of tasks were you using GA for? I use mine to turn a smart plug on or off, and set a timer when cooking. Nothing else I've ever wanted to do via my Pixel 2 is reliable enough to waste time trying. Sending a WhatsApp while driving is the one thing I keep wanting to do, but it's hopeless.
Siri often fails even switching lights on and off, it can be very idiosyncratic in how it does and interprets stuff

Finally, a way to opt out of AMP links on Safari -.-
Apple is notoriously horrible when it comes to localization: Apple Maps (localization, regional maps, regional traffic data, turn by turn), iOS supported languages, Siri supported languages, their new Apple Translate that only has 7-8 languages, Spotlight suggestions, etc.
They're also very slow to expand their services, I think Apple News still only supports 4 countries.
Just buy DuckDuckGo
On the other hand, Apple's search in the App Store app is so bad that I use DDG or Google to search for apps.

Same with Siri Suggestions, although they may be taking on a larger role in iOS 14 and macOS Big Sur.
Right — this article seems pretty uninformed. I don't think there's a reason to believe Apple is any closer to launching a search engine now than they were 3 years ago.

Presumably the same way they monetize Siri.
Or a great way to make it so no one competes with their partner google — by offering a totally free (and ad-free) search that’s good enough for many use cases but not great.
