Clout. Monetization.

Journalists report, they don't analyze.

The error is consumers believing journalist news is anything but uninformed, hot take heresy; spun in the most sensationalistic way.

They are hired to get eyeballs for advertisers. Not to be accurate, thorough truthful, or unbiased.

Seems perfectly tailored to the product being sold and the customers paying for it

Product being search users. Customers being advertisers.

Putting tldr; at the bottom defeats purpose of tldr.

Guessing this is BPF https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_Packet_Filter But, reader shouldn't have to guess. That is the link that should be in your Introduction. Just after tldr;

Step one; get overreaching, extreme powers passed into law because they'll only be used to fight "terrorism".

Step two; redefine everything as terrorism.

Instead of money spent to influence politicians, money will be spent to influence the masses. The net effect will be same, money "wins".

It's probably mostly due to legal liability. Real or perceived. It's gonna be risky to convince a jury you did your fiduciary duty to either consumers or stockholders when opposing lawyer is saying "so you subjected my client's data to you didn't even write? Code anyone one on internet can change at anytime, etc. etc.

legal is not about what is true or right or fair or probably it is about risk reduction/mitigation. A 20% chance to lose court case is too much. Or even chance of bad PR is something to be avoided.

You put a resource on an open network and don't use any of the standard, recognized methods to indicate don't index, don't share, (nor lock it away with auth).

It's like if you put a sculpture in front yard and get upset when someone points it out in their neighborhood tour company, even worse cause yard ornaments don't have standard accepted methods of saying "don't use".

Two choices

1) use robots.txt

2) don't put it on the internet

1st amendment issue. As in persons, including those that own companies have the right to associate or not associate(1) with whomever they choose. As upheld in USA with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAACP_v._Alabama

1) The "not associate" is not clearly as protected and is frequently abridged to protect "protected classes" eg housing, employment, ADA laws. I doubt any US court will uphold "bigot" as a protected class.
