Why use !sp instead of !g?

Startpage gives you Google search results without exposing your data to Google. It's better for your privacy.

Startpage sends your search term to google without your ip address.
Guess what Duckduckgo with the !g bang does?

!g sends you to the Google website, obviously Google gets your IP, browser fingerprint, etc. that way
