I suspect you think google search is their core business. When it's ads.
Also, just because Microsoft is ahead just now doesn't mean they will be in the future. OpenAI I believe is only so far ahead because they take what others gave and didn't give back. This resulted in others to stop sharing. Since OpenAI is going to stop getting that boost from others, it could be that others start catching up with advancements they discover but don't share.
I think you may underestimate how much ads is dependent on search. Google ads is an attractive place to buy ads (as opposed to the n + 1 other web ad exchanges) because of the ability to place ads on Google search through that platform. If search and YouTube weren't dominant in their market, there would be no reason to choose to use Google ads as opposed to a cheaper ad exchange.
