It's easy to judge but AFAIK if they prioritize order it's possible more searches come up with bad results than good. That doesn't mean they shouldn't try to do better but we, or a least I, really have no idea which is better, on average, order dependent or order independent.

Or if they assumed the order was meaningful, which they apparently don't.

They only hire the best of the best!
