Google has said it didn't maintain a monopoly through such agreements and that consumers could change their device defaults to use other search engines.

It's not complete truth. I use librewolf because you can set search engine to custom. In chrome you can only pick from predefined. With this fact Google controls it's competition. You can't compete with monopoly by being invisible because they always watch you.
