I'm not proposing a link tax, i'm just saying that websites should be able to opt-out from their content being used for some Google products just because they have to give google a very permissive license to transact online business and be found in search results.

Would it be reasonable that a vendor to put their merchandise by behind an login page?

[selfhoster11]

What possible reason would they have for doing so? They would lose sales and search engine originated traffic.

No, because it makes finding the merchandise hard, and sales will tank.
