A shame. DuckDuckGo probably solves this.

You can still bid for those keywords on DuckDuckGo too, they use Bing ads as the backend for its keyword ad placement

Yeah true. It’s a shame. Though I might say, if one is smart enough to purposely not use Google, they are probably smart enough to not fall for scams like that. 😄
