I don't know what makes you think that Google is incentivised to punish garbage. They certainly don't seem to mind seeing up an endless stream of slop for certain kinds of queries. I don't understand why they'd be more incentivised to serve SEO'd human generated slop than SEO'd machine generated slop.

If you actually look into the "SEO slop", they're constantly fighting a battle with Google to keep their place.

It's all garbage so no one notices when some of it suddenly disappears off the face of the earth and gets replaced with other garbage: but for the ones making it, their revenue essentially goes to 0 overnight.
