Some users don't understand the difference between the web / an ISP / a website / a search engine / a web browser / an OS /... because of massive advertising from Google, that went on all the segments, and also did so much anti competition that it was charged in the EU
For some, Google is the brand for the tech, and everything else like Firefox is a knock off, or a pedantic complication.
It's a scary world we're living in.
And it's the world we IT guys have built, when we taught the elderly and everyone how to be online with hands-on first and no proper explanation. Google has done better with even easier hands-on and absolutely nothing to know before you use your phone or Chromebook.
This. People don't know the difference between a browser and a search engine, and that's a good thing for Google.
