Not because DDG got better, but just because google got worse.

google is still better for site-specific searches, and google scholar still has minimal AI slop

yes, it is. but between it and graphhopper (or osm), it's "enough" for me.

i don't need a feature-filled "app" (my phone is 'dumb'), and the only time i end up on something else like bing or google maps is if a site i need to use embeds and relies upon them.

my problem with apple maps is how frequently it has something's location completely wrong because osm addresses use the European addressing system everywhere when i don't live in europe

Agreed. Even if it were identical to Google maps in terms of content, it runs slower on all platforms Iโ€™ve so far tried (windows, iOS, OSX).
