I think people hate the decision because there were trivial technical measures to prevent snippets already, for years. Those companies spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to sue google... instead of spending trivial amount of engineering time to just put the right tag on their page. So I don’t think “Google was stealing” argument holds water - if this was really the problem, then the solution does not make sense.
