Everyone else says money. The real reason is darker. When the first broadcast media came out, radio and later TV, there was very limited bandwidth. The FCC had to apportion out a finite spectrum, and the powers there decided to make sure the public got their money's worth (because spectrum is a public good). Remember when government did that? That ensured that building a transmitter and beaming out programming was expensive not only from a physical hardware perspective, but also from a licensing and compliance perspective. If the FCC thought your approved use of public airwaves was a little too raunchy or biased, you'd lose that approval. Now with ubiquitous internet, bandwidth is essentially free. Net neutrality aside, there's no public interest in governmental involvement in bandwidth from a scarcity perspective, and we've yet to reach an agreed-upon point where there is any other reason for governmental involvement. Imagine the heady days of TV with the lineup of talking heads, push polling, personal branding, backroom deals, astroturfing, sockpuppetry, and exogovernmental involvement we have today. To answer the question, Google won't fix it because no government forces them to.
