Funny they should say that, considering that Bing is deeply integrated into Windows, and users have literally no choice of another search engine.
And if you accidentally open edge you can’t even close the application without going through the setup process.
They literally tried to force you to make a Microsoft account as set up and make it seem like you have no choice other than to make one.
Microsoft is more guilty than Google

Couldn’t you just kill it with task manager?

They don’t realize how much they fucked up when they forced users to download the Bing app in order to use GPT in Bing.
They had the perfect chance to hijack Google by making users switch their default search engine in Chrome. But no, they had to get greedy as fuck, and now Bing is dead again.
They went all-in and lost. Who is using Bing search now? Nobody, people want to use Chrome.
I’d have probably used Bing for a longer time and maybe would have gotten used to it (only for GPT) if they hadn’t forced me to download their app.
