As long as Google only used links that was fine, but now with the Knowledge Graph often just quoting all the content of the site directly, and Google showing ads to profit from that, we're seeing a situation where Google profits by scraping content, but the creators never do.
None of this would've been an issue 20 years ago when 90% of the web was noncommercial, but now it destroys an entire industry.
