Very strange to put Kagi as โ€œless privateโ€ when itโ€™s the only non-self-hosted option that allows for completely private searches with their Privacy Pass tokens. You can access them with Tor, pay with crypto (not really that private though), and sign up with a fake email. https://kagi.com/privacy#anonymity

It isn't marked as less private. It is grayed out because it is not based in Europe. I personally use them as I find them the best option with what is out there.

The text at the bottom says โ€œkagi doesnโ€™t collect any identifying data, but does require an account, so it is considered less private than the alternativesโ€.

With fingerprinting and even just IP tracking, I think the question is more whether they can be trusted to not track you (i.e. whether it makes business sense).
