100% agree.

I have a content website with some tables that I compiled from carefully scouring forums, taking my own measurements, and from people emailing me new info.

Well, Google just displays my tables in the search results, so no one needs to visit my site. This may be great for a user, but it's a real disincentive to create content if Google is just going to scrape it and display it.

Last time I looked, my site ranked #1 for the searches above, but a user would have to scroll through 3 screens worth of whatever else is on a search results page now to get to my link.
