- How many people use only Google search engine nowadays? More and more people use chatbots, with Google search.

- Google search also does not provide good results for finding stuff in all walled gardens, so we also use niche search engines for individual platforms. I am not sure if it finds good results for posts in facebook and x.com

- I also use my own index of pages, YouTube channels, and github pages. Contains tags, page scoring system, related links, social information like number of followers etc.

So in a way, it has being replaced. It just takes some time for people to switch.
