Google could always donate the money to Mozilla and let Mozilla make the right choice, though I’m not sure if legislators will accept that. It’s not like Google would even notice a traffic drop if Mozilla stopped shipping Google as a default. Hell, with Firefox’s tracking protection, they may be glad to lose the extra load that doesn’t help revenue streams.
Luckily, Firefox has such a tiny sliver of market share that rarely anyone will notice. Bigger browsers, like Safari, are more likely. To catch the regulators’ eyes.
Seriously. What are they going to do next?

They may just keep donating anyway so they don’t get an anticompetitive suit
