How is Apple going to monetize DuckDuckGo to make up for that $9 billion, without compromising their other efforts w/r/t user and data privacy?

How much do they monetize Apple Maps for? Sometimes companies just buy something to be a service supporting the thing they actually sell.

Source?

Edit: I googled it. There is no source, basically just a guy claiming that would be logical for them to do but his timeframe is already proven wrong and Apple hasn’t announced anything.

efforts
