Microsoft CEO testifies that Google's search deals solidify its dominance and stifle competition

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella argued that Google's agreements with companies like Apple to be the default search engine have allowed it to dominate the market.
Nadella stated these deals make it very difficult for competitors like Microsoft's Bing to gain traction and market share.
He expressed concerns that Google could leverage its position to further entrench itself in emerging technologies like AI.
Despite massive investments, Microsoft has struggled to grow Bing usage due to Google's existing grip as the predominant search engine.
Nadella disputed claims that users can easily switch search engines, stating defaults matter much more in driving adoption.
