I agree with you on point 1; if Google's search quality is not the best than people will (eventually) go elsewhere. I disagree on point 2. Users on low quality

I disagree on point 2. Users on low quality AdSense sites almost certainly arrived there from a search engine so if I can display my adverts on a users landing page it will be almost as good as if they arrived on my site straight from Google.
