That still isn't clear how much is a fixed price to be the default and how much of what is paid is just a percentage of search revenue.

It makes sense that ANY website or device maker will go with default search from whomever offers the highest income from search. Generally, that will be the better search engine unless VCs are backing an lower quality (ie pays less) upstart in hopes of building share and scale by subsidizing paid clicks from search.
