Surely you don't think that it's Google's responsibility to return any random bullshit that happens to be on the internet? I go there to figure something out. I don't care that some conspiracy theorists believe the earth is flat, if I search for "theory of gravity" I don't want any flat earth garbage.

Part of being able to distinguish the garbage in life is being able to see all sides presented and being smart enough to know what is correct. Sorry if you need Google to help you with this. You'll probably see 5 pages of ads, old sites, and spam before you see the wacky conspiracy stuff like flat earth and Russiagate.
