Two giants are facing off so the logic is probably something like:

Microsoft makes money from services so it doesn't have to make money from a search engine.

Google, on the other hand, makes money from ads so it doesn't have to make money from services.

If Microsoft can take Google's ad revenue away they no longer have to compete against Google's free services.

The converse also holds but it may be easier for Microsoft to weaken Google.

You realize google probably has a 10x better AI then ChatGPT. They just arn’t publicizing it. Google has all the data. It's not even a competition. If bing adds it then google will simply add a better version of it.
