Gotta make sure the code runs.

Even if you don’t accept PRs, you’ll get people who want you to. Having the source open will generate a good amount of support email that is about modifications to your code. People can’t help it.

Google now wasn’t for searching for stuff or a voice assistant. It was a lot like a calendar manager and reminder system with a bunch of relevant to you right now information on one page. Get to the airport and need your reservation code? Google now has it. Commute to work via train? Google now has the schedule for you. Have an appointment at X address? Google now has the directions. Have a package you’re waiting for? Google now has a card keeping track for you.
Most of what they use your data for is to serve you ads. If you’re blocking ads, that data isn’t all that valuable.
What do you mean by specifically searching? Because it totally comes up for me.
