Back when I tried both more extensively a few years ago, Google was a lot better giving me results relevant in Europe and Asia. Bing and duck duck go used to be very US only focused. Which made me go back to Google.

I don't know if or how much that's changed.

that's unfortunate, really. Is there no other options for those regions? I'm not suggesting yandex, but others exist, right?

This was all about ten years or so ago.

I just gave Bing a quick try, and it seems to be a bit more useful (for Singapore) now than it used to be. I haven't tried all the other alternatives.
