This is, I'll note without any judgement, a surprisingly anticapitalist opinion. You're essentially saying that you don't want to allow companies to compete on how good the product is from a consumer perspective (as a consumer, I value not having to precisely describe my search queries, I don't want to have to write SQL in my search tool!).

But also, when I search Google, I want to know if what category the results list is coming from. The recommendation engines have gotten so bad that I quite frequently will use private browsing on a lot of my searches that are intended for a single-use purpose (like when I read about something and want more info on it), without having to have future searches (or advertisements!!!) coming back in my face. A simple example is when I bring up a playlist on Youtube for when one of the grandkids is over. Well I really don't want my default recommendations to be mostly 70's metal but contaminated with The Wheels On The Bus peppered through the playlist.
