In what way is Safari profitable? How is that even measured? Has any consumer in the last 10 years ever specifically paid for safari? Or do you mean the payments by google to be the default search engine?

If Safari didn't exist, Google wouldn't be paying Apple ~$20-Billion a year to default Safari's search to Google
Why not though? Apple could still install Firefox and set Bing as the default search engine. Or even just Chrome, without selecting google. They don’t get the money for making a browser but configuring their browser in a specific way. That would work with any browser.
Can Apple force Mozilla to make Google the default browser in Firefox?

That search isn't only in Safari, it's in the rest of the OS too via Spotlight.
Similar for Windows.
