Because DDG is indeed a search engine and not a browser.

You're right. My only experience with it, however, has been with it's mobile browser app. I wasn't familiar with desktop chrome extensions that perform as a search engine. Posted from a point of ignorance on my part. When I hear "duckduckgo", my mind goes only to the mobile app I have sitting on my phone.

Oh yes... They are primarily a search engine but do have a search/browser app option available. So I suppose they can be either depending on device and personal option choice.

I stand corrected...
