A good general rule is to make it hard for people to do bad things, and to not create incentives to do so. This seems to do the opposite.

Isn’t homeowners insurance subsidised in the US in some places, especially in high risk areas?

I can‘t find good resources on this - is there a logic behind this beyond pleasing the people that have vested interests in those areas (like owning a home)?

I agree, I've found it very useful for search tasks that involve putting a few pieces together. For example, I was looking for the floor plan of an apartment building I was considering moving to in a country I'm not that familiar with. Google: Found floor plans on architect's sites - but only ones of rejected proposals.

ChatGPT: Gave me the planning proposal number of the final design, with instructions to the government website where I can plug that in to get floor plans and other docs.

In this case, ChatGPT was so much better at giving me a definitive source than Google - instead of the other way around.
