This is why I've really grown attached to Kagi (paid search engine).

It's made the internet usable again. I'm honestly surprised how much of difference there is. I'd really recommend people give it a shot. (there's a free trial for it)

Many people would prefer that their search history isn't associated to personal and payment information.

Some of this is just because some of these frameworks and technologies have been around for a while and they iterate frequently. I see a ton of Azure content that is obsolete after only a few years.
