Probably so. Haven't used it much but Google has got so much worse. Being filled with adds and irrelevant results that DuckDuckgo probably is better now.
Google just got worse.
For me they are even better than Google. But I use Qwant now.
What do people use google scholar for? Use jstor and other specific databases like arxiv
