For now.

DDG gets search results from Bing, owned by Microsoft. And I wouldn't be surprised if the later did the same as Google did.

That's technically true, but it's as misleading as saying they get their search results from Yandex. Their results are aggregated from several search engines, not just Bing. They also have their own web crawler, DuckDuckBot, which absolutely respects RobotRules.

Where is your evidence for that? It used to be Bing and Yandex, but now it's just Bing. They use other non search engine APIs and do a small amount of crawling AFAIK. Details of who uses what here: https://seirdy.one/posts/2021/03/10/search-engines-with-own-indexes/

I read it on their sources page at some point, but it looks like that page has changed since last I looked.

Fair point.
