Google is worried that it’ll lose its antitrust case about paying Apple $20B/year to be the default search in Safari.

So it considered making AI overviews only available in its apps to drive usage but decided against it at the last minute. I don’t think it’d have worked either.

I think the chances of Google losing this case are quite low since it penalizes the companies Google is paying for search defaults like Apple & Mozilla more than it does Google.
