Which- why? Who’s using ddg without understanding how to use a search engine or recognizing the constant AI hallucinations?

The short answer is employees and family members.

Someone who manages tech for other users might configure ddg as default search. I guess people at ddg are concerned that this type of user might be resistant to using ddg unless it has zero-click results.
