Yahoo recently sold itself to Verizon, so Yahoo probably does not have enough money to run their own search engine website results database which can use a lot of server resources like CPU, RAM, storage and bandwidth. Google is also paying Yahoo money for placing Adsense and Adword ads on Yahoo's search engine page.
I think most ad buyers won't pay money to Yahoo for placing their ads on Yahoo search, and maybe more likely to agree to have their ads shown on Yahoo search when they use Google Adwords unless they ask Google Adwords to not place their ads on Yahoo.
Aviate Yahoo launcher has 5 million downloads on Google Play, so it is pretty popular.
I think Verizon discontinue Aviate because it is hard to make money with a launcher app because you can't put ads on a launcher app without annoying users, and very few people pay money to buy launchers when there are many good free launchers apps.
