When you visit the Google's chatbot bard's website in Microsoft Bing. A New Button pops up besides the search bar which lets you compare bard results with Bing chat's. I have no idea why they implemented this, well maybe to show off the their chatbot is better than bard or something?

No, they operate their own crawlers.

Per https://duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/results/sources/:

We also maintain our own crawler (DuckDuckBot) and many indexes to support our results. Of course, we have more traditional links and images in our search results too, which we largely source from Bing. Our focus is synthesizing all these sources to create a superior search experience.

Oh interesting. I've seen their crawlers in my server logs, didn't know they were using it to augment Bing.
