Pretty much every browser has a blacklist of websites, so no it's not google. The blacklists are a best-effort, and get a lot of false positives which end up pushing smaller websites not only off search results, but now "off the internet" for the majority of people who don't know better.
Of course technical people all turn this stuff off in the browser, but the issue is the browser's target audience is the woman selling tamales from a cart outside the DMV, and the 20-something who does his taxes on his phone.
Much like with email, we now have to jump through many hoops with these gatekeepers, if we want to be able to reach that tamale lady with our content. Unfortunately, the solution in place now is the only one I can think of. The other option is thousands of bad actors infecting millions of devices with botnets and stealing gramma's banking passwords.
