Google is using for 20 years unlicensed source content for their search snippets, they seem to be doing fine with it (with the exception of few news publishers).
The idea with internet search was to get people to find the source of the information they were searching for. As a matter of fact a lot information indexing was requested at the source. Google did respect the bargain for a while until they started to obfuscate getting to the source with AMP and their info snippets directly in the search, bypassing redirecting to the source. Then they started not displaying all that info at all, not even on the nth page of search results. The broth has been getting sour for a while now. Some people never wanted crawlers indexing and there were numerous discussions about how those robot.txt were ignored.
So what I see here is the historical trend broken bargains which is more or less digital theft
