That button was removed in response to a lawsuit from Getty: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/02/internet-rages-after...

Someone in Google’s UX and Design department, really needs go out and breathe some fresh air. Is it only me, who dislikes 95% of the design decision of Google products in the recent years?

Is there anything good done by Getty since its existence?

There were multiple scripts and extensions popping up to restore the feature right after it was removed. Eg. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/view-image/jpcmhce...

They keep buying off smaller stock image platforms as well killing competition

This is good but what annoys me most about Google lately is that all searches turn out to be product searches instead of images of a thing. Just makes me trust the results less and less.
