So, Google stopped automating indexation because spam, humanity finds new way to resume automation to again propagate spam. It seems Google is trapped in its toxic game of search engine optimization.

Google no longer finds new sites automatically? That might explain why it's been so trash the past few years.

I remember running a few websites back in the day, and with zero interaction with google all of the pages showed up in the search index a day or two after publishing at most.

The only possible outcome if for them to shutdown this API or make it work as documented. There's already at least 10+ SaaS offering this as service.

Eh, you can get google to index your site by just submitting a site map, it just takes a little longer.

If "a little longer" is six months+, you're absolutely right.
