>There would be many search engines and the ability for one to drastically impact other industries with UI changes would go away.

Honestly that's just wishful thinking. Generally these monopolies, regardless of 'artificial propping up' tend to be fairly natural monopolies and these sorts of changes just make it harder on people to get the experience they had before and prefer.

The same happens in android, you get a prompt to select your browser in a new phone (not sure if that is eu or not), similar in ios.

It's not clear to me what point you're making. What happened to IE specifically when MS was forced to allow people to uninstall it?
