Google became what it is because they had the best search results. Today, other like qwant and sometimes even bing are better. If it was not for Android, the reasons for remaining stuck with Google would have become sparse already. And I daresay Apple is now the less evil option.

I don't know about that. Google is evil for sure, but I haven't read anything about their factory workers leaping from buildings to escape life.

Who knows at this point? With this level of advanced capitalism, it's getting kind of difficult to identify truly ethical corporations.

Google is still one of the better ones for sure... Apple has gone majorly down the route of proprietary tech, not contributing upstream to OSS they use, not updating OSS they used to regularly ship, and vendor lockin games.
