And Google search results as well. Search results are publicly accessible but if you try to crawl them, Google will block it.

If it becomes illegal to block crawlers, then Google is gonna get hammered with bot traffic.

It will also mean that google won't have to be the front-end to search results, and anyone can build on top of it, which could kill google ad revenue because then you could create anonymous google searches.
