If my suspicions are true then they've really messed up, there's no way their accidental clicks are worth the difficulty of complying with DSA regulations.

I think the same may be true of Bing Search, I don't think their user base is anywhere as large as they're made out to be but every time you accidentally click a link in Windows you get forced into Edge and Bing. It's not hard to cross the 45 million users threshold when everyone only needs to click one Microsoft link inside Windows once per month to count!
