MODERATORS
I think it's less a matter of making them as it is about getting people to use them.
Half of these are fairly big projects, both the making and the maintenance of.
So there needs to be a sizable amount of people actually using the products to make it worth the effort.
With the exception of YouTube and maybe android, all seems to have a suitable alternative.

I am actually using Qwant, but thought they relied on Bing?
Did that change?
