Funny thing is, this probably did not happen because some PM decided that ads should look like regular results. It is probably an organic result of A/B testing

Funny thing is, this probably did not happen because some PM decided that ads should look like regular results. It is probably an organic result of A/B testing over time, coupled with revenue being an important metric. Small changes that increase revenue get prioritized and over time, it just evolves into this eventually.
