Yes - all $20B isn't pure profit. It must take 25% of an engineers time to maintain the search box in safari. So lets say it is only $19,999,899,999 in profits.

Your math is off. They have to pay the engineers whether it’s towards Google or Microsoft. Those $20B are pure profit

No, if they deleted the search box and didn't need to maintain it, there would be no engineer required to maintain it.
