I have always been in the "search" camp. Even on my local hard drive, grep and locate are my tools of choice. So, no need for Google to prefer a search-based approach. In fact, I will gladly give up all my organization tools for better search, and that's why I am happy with Google's way. I actually dislike most of their UI decisions, like I hate most of the modern web/electon app design, not just Google's. But search-over-organization, love it. I wouldn't call it a dark pattern, just not a pattern suitable for the author. I would like to say, go find something else, Google is about search and has always been, but unfortunately, the options are limited. Maybe because Google is so successful, most of the other big names go search-first, but do it poorly. They don't search as well as Google, and don't have good organization tools.
