My theory these days is that indexing services like google are now too big to work properly. There's more and more noise added every time new information is indexed, to the point where strong bias is necessary for it to return relevant results to average user.
Maybe there's a point where the internet, with decades old information pilling up, becomes unbearably big for indexing services to handle all of it in a efficient manner. Hence the recent "optimizations" that companies swear haven't worsened searchability.
