I don't see it that way. The bottomline is, if the asker isn't satisfied with the proposed resolutions the asker might go elsewhere (e.g., DDG). Even if the asker doesn't switch search tools any sense of friction and frustration will trigger less usage, not more. That's not good for Google. It's not good for advertisers.

Pains me to say it, but is in the best interest of the searh engine to maximize the searcher's satisfaction.
