Here's a fun thought experiment -- which current big tech company do you think will eventually, a hundred years from now, lose control of their trademark and have it genericized

If "googling" genuinely becomes generic it'll probably because of Baidu -- like the only place where there seriously is a competitor to Google brand-wise is Baidu in China, and it's possible Chinese sources will start translating "looking things up on Baidu" as "googling"

I mean.. how did that work out for Xerox and Kleenex? Same thing is happening with Uber, although I dunno if that brand will exist as it is in 10-20 years

See that's why I'm saying photoshop because there are other tools that do the same thing just with less-great interfaces. Plus "googling" is one of the dumbest sounding words ever and still more syllables than just "searching"
