this is an overgeneralised meme. Just because you can't find something on google doesn't mean that other people (who actually know of these site locations, or are the hosters of these sites, or are searching via different search engines) aren't accessing it. Google is also not the be all and end all of search. According to comscore (take with giant salt crystals) google has around 67% of the search market in the US. Now taking only the US, this means that there are around 33% of the web-going population in the US who could care less what google does with its index (because they simply never see it at all in the first place). Is irrelevance the biggest slap in the face? For some people even if google deletes their entire index, it wouldn't even make a difference.
