Because it blocks google and everyone else from selling ads as search results. Stops online trackers from reading your email, search history, porn fetish, file names on your hard drive, etc. And even removes trackers embedded in your email from tracking you online. Provided that you get the duck.com address that they offer. It's duck duck go. So it's not exactly "specialized". TOR or Brave browsers do most of that too.
