I am personally of the opinion that it is unethical for Google to strip these websites of the traffic (and revenue) they deserve by co-opting content that they have, in many cases, spent decades curating. If the websites have terrible design or too many ads, users should inform the website owner organically by choosing not to visit the site, but for Google to abuse their market position in this manner is wrong, I believe.
