Google's ENTIRE JOB is to surface the CORRECT content for a query. If they are objectively not doing that, then they are in the wrong. Imagine credit card fraud just kept increasing, and instead of adapting and improving their systems, companies just threw up their hands and said "deal with it, not our problem, nothing we can do" as you had to generate a new credit card number every other day because even the most trivial card number enumeration attacks were not stopped.
The fact that google is completely unwilling to change how they operate to prevent even the simplest, intern driven SEO trash from overtaking literally authoritative sources should be exhibit A in a trial to break up Google, as evidence of how negative value they are to the consumer.
It's the rough equivalent of Fedex just throwing away a third of the packages they are supposed to deliver at random, and people seemingly just saying "eh, nothing can be done"

To some extent they even have an incentive to show poorer results first because it makes you stay on the page longer and look at more sites (more ad impressions).
