Honestly, that's actually smart and nobody is hurt here. Google by now is as shit as Bing, so there's nothing wrong with using B instead of G. Let them downvotes come :)
Misleading users is definitely harmful. Since this is obviously done on purpose, I'd say it's malicious.
yeah, you're right, actually. if I have to fit this somewhere in my framework of things, it'd fall in the "dark pattern" box. so per definition it's actually malicious.
