They tried that a long while back. They got slapped down hard legally because that's a monopolistic business practice and is illegal.

Yeah and now they're inching their way into doing it again because fines are just the cost of business. Windows search can't use anything but Edge and Bing for example, and they've deliberately broken the modifications that allow you to work around that, multiple times. They made it much more difficult to switch default browsers, they made it so that if you tried to uninstall it it would come back the next time you updated, etc
