There is also the possibility that they properly adapted to their users. Power users as a proportion of Internet's total user count probably followed an inverted zipf distribution over time. At the begining 100%, then 99, 90%, 9% and now less than one percent.
Assuming power users formulate search in ways that are irreconcilable from those of the average user, and assuming Google adapted their models, metrics to the average user and retrained them at each step,
then, we are simply no longer a target market of Google.
