If Google keeps listing the battle, hopefully other search engines can arise. Bigger variety would help with combating SEO, cause if you have 3 or 4 alternatives, it becomes harder to game all of them

Only if they use substantially different ranking algos.

Given how poor DDG and Bing search is (tons of the same SEO pages) I doubt that the other search engines will fix anything.
