Why spend billions a year on a search engine when someone will pay you billions a year to use theirs?

This isn't gaslighting, it's the basics of tenet capitalism.

In what scenario does Apple generate 20 billion a year by owning a internet search product?

Search engines are a dead end. The future is a LLM that can tie its results to sources.

I have more confidence in Apple getting that right than Google. Google doesn't even have the confidence in themselves to brand their product with Google in the name.

This isn't gaslighting

It is though, because they're trying to convince you (and the government) that that's not the reason.

I'm pretty sure we've already seen that that's a dead end.

2 things can be true… just because they omitted 1 reason doesn’t mean the other isn’t also true

That what's the reason? You haven't proposed their true motive, what sanity are they attempting to make us question because you don't appear to understand what gaslighting means. At best you think they are lying, which isn't gaslighting and is a really stupid thing to do around federal investigations.

I did all of that in my parent comment. It's only stupid if the government can prove it's not true, which they can't.
