> constant battle against SEO/Spam industry
I'm pretty sure this is a self inflicted injury. Google started relying on metadata as a signal for its search algo and the SEO war was on.
1. Nothing is forcing Apple or any other search engine maker to use the same signals
2. In any case, the era of general purpose web search seems to be ending - most things we care about is in walled gardens like Insta or WhatsApp. E.g., millions of people get their Ukraine war news from Telegram channels which Google is blind to.
Any general purpose search engine is hoovering up less and less relevant content
