I wouldn't be so sure. I bet there is a viable business in selling a quality search engine.
Maybe not dominate the market, take over the world, but not every thing has to be that.

Imagine a search engine that truly is private, containerized search and does not need to sell you anything. It only wants to serve you true relevance and accuracy. That engine also skips over all monetized sites that serve more than 5-10% ads. Prefers cookieless sites. That search engine would be bliss.
