You are thinking of a browser app, not the search engine. And by "allowing", you mean "did not add to the blacklist of things to block when using their browser". And they rectified this pretty quickly, so there's a not insubstantial chance it was just an accident.
Blacklists are going to be imperfect by definition, if uBlock Origin misses a tracker I'm not going to say it's "allowing" the site to track me
