I don't know why they would, though. They get paid and it doesn't steal traffic from them. Unless Bing releases its own anonymous mode and DDG becomes a competitor. Then they could charge more or force DDG to display "powered by Bing" in the logo. That would be the end of DDG.

Details of their deal with bing is unknown. It could be that Microsoft is giving it for free or they may have even better terms. There is zero transparency.
