Why is Google the Search Engine of Choice for the Steemit Platform?

Why not DuckDuckGo or even... anyone else besides the people teaming up with the ADL and YouTube to, "block and remove extremist content on YouTube"?

...Is this real life? Are we really asking corporations to protect us from reality?

Just wondering.
