Ask HN: Why is Apple not being sued along with Google in DOJ lawsuit?

Apple is making tens of billions of dollars in this "default search provider on Safari" deal. If this deal is illegal, shouldn't both be an equal part of the lawsuit? Further, this deal was made years ago when being the default on Safari wasn't a big deal (low % overall market share). How is this deal any different from Google's deal with Mozilla for default search provider for Firefox? The only difference I see is that Apple's marketshare grew exponentially, while Firefox is (sadly) dying. But from a legal point of view, how do the above make sense?
