We don't need a government regulator guaranteeing Google's profits. If Apple is in a position to dictate the defaults and Google wants them to make a certain choice, then Google should have to pay. Bringing in a regulator to control how Apple chooses the default search engine is a bad idea. We've seen similar attempts in the EU trying to break Internet Explorer and it turned out to be quite impotent compared to the march of Google Chrome. Regulators are ineffective at solving this sort of thing.
Although it occurs to me that you might mean Apple should build their own search engine - which is a terrible idea. Google is really good at search engines and Apple wants their customers to have the best experience. Forcing Apple to build and promote an inferior search engine would be terrible for everyone.
