I think they absolutely are using it as market research.
You're talking about a company who gave away free 411 services to the world to better hone their voice recognition technology. Personally, I think the next adaptation of Google's algorithm will include average page visit time based on content and web tracking software. As Matt Cutts has said about a hundred million times; we're looking for the most relevant website to the topic. Quality sites and articles typically require a longer viewing time, and thus I think this will be rewarded down the road.
