Knew this was an SEO company even before clicking the article. They are the only people who looks at a search page and see dollar signs. By this logic, when I submit bug report to Apple "I'm now an Apple QA. And I won't get paid for it"
Hmm, but weren't you already rating websites by clicking on the search results before? I don't see how that changes the game - and I must admit I don't know much about SEO - but in my view we were always rating results and that was influencing the position.

One question that I ask is if Google Search is still a search engine, and if it should be considered as one. If people are going on Google to search and end up in a chat with an LLM, isn't that defrauding the user? Of course, a LLM can answer a query, but if a user wants to chat to find an answer they can do it. Doesn't this make a stronger case for chrome to spin off away from Google?
