Thing is, Google's mid to long-term plan is not to "be the best search engine and web portal" - it's far far beyond that. If the average person were privy to how all their properties (both directly owned and indirect affiliations) make money and how they plan to develop them, people would be very surprised. And quite possibly very frightened.
This is just them cleaning up a dirty little corner of the net, in their view. It's a minor chore and much overdue from their perspective. And morality aside I have to think things would be different if our industry didn't have a rep for being so utterly spammy and shady, at least in the online realm.
