For me so far, convenience on mobile when looking up information on physical places and business. I get the phone number, address, and hours of operation without clicking a link.
As I’m transitioning to using Ecosia, that’s what I find myself going back to Google search for most frequently. I tried switching to clicking links on Ecosia to find a phone number to call, and quickly came to the conclusion the websites are enshittified also, or at least ridiculous to navigate and find useful information. On at least one occasion already Google has had the phone number listed at the top of Search for an organization that just didn’t have a phone number provided from themselves anywhere online. (Okay, maybe they had it on their Facebook page, but I’m trying to improve my user experience not soil it).
