Regarding the last sentence: The problem is that capitalism knows no limits. Sure, it would be nice to pay a monthly subscription for genuinely good and desirable content/search results...

That doesn't mean that this entity or person can't be financially supported but it gets problematic when profit is the _main_ incentive.
