Vast majority? That needs some proof.
I routinely find the stuff I want on the first page of search, solid, deep content. Do people simply not know how to search?
Most any topic has a wikipedia article on page 1, which is always a good gateway to learn an intro to something, and usually has links to much deeper content.
Some tests:
"chess" returns all pretty good content.
"electronic music" - all good stuff, from wikipedia, to subreddits on EDM and related, to encyc britannica, and one news story.
"how to cook salmon" - again all really good stuff: first few are simple and correct recipes, then a few videos, some reddit topics. Not a single crappy link.
"who is quincy jones" - wikipedia hit top, news that he died today (quite a good set of links, no crackpot sites), his website, his instagram, National Endowment of the Arts link, encyclopedia britannica link. "does quantum entanglement violate local realism?" All good. Even pop stuff like "does taylor swift or the beatles have more grammys" has all good, solid hits: wikipedia, grammy.com, reddit post, quora, forbes, NYT,BBC, popvortex with a list of all grammys. Every link answered the question, is not wikihow, and is not AI generated.
Yep, as I expected. My guess is you didn't actually try and just made a claim without evidence.
Give me some topics for which the "the vast majority of content and most certainly the most common content the major search engines serve up" is "half-assed Wikihow articles or one-size-fits-all OpenAI-hallucinated slop."
I found zero out of dozens of links on some widespread topic checks.
Good luck.
