Your first link is a recipe from 2001-09-19, which seems like strong evidence that it being written around 9/11 wasn't motivated by modern recipe SEO?
What did I claim?

I've also read that it's to do with copyright - the recipes themselves can't be copyrighted, but the text around them can. Scraper republishes your ingredients list: not a lot you can do. Scraper republishes your fluffy anecdote and pictures: BLAMMO!
Except the whole reason this article on scraping recipe sites was written was to ignore the fluff. Forcing copyright this way doesn't sound particularly helpful when the fluffy anecdote has so little value in comparison to the recipe. Or is it really the case that the average reader wants the anecode secondary to the recipe? It feels like people are trying to make money around information that is fundamentally imprac…
Sometimes it's a little rambling, but there's often useful information about the recipe that follows, like shortcuts that seem like they should work, but don't. She includes some interesting links or background, and getting a bite-sized glimpse of someone else's life isn't the worst thing.
I highly useful tool in my household for dealing with the SEO/tracking scourge that recipe blogs have become is https://www.paprikaapp.com/ . Hoping someday to have some spare time to integrate this with https://grocy.info/ and have a pipeline for recipe -> preparation automation.
I love Paprika, but what keeps frustrating me is the inability to share recipes with my partner. I can Airdrop a single recipe to her, but doing this for all of them, one byone, super tedious, and then she makes some changes which I'd like to have too, and there seems to be no reliable way to get her changes back on my devices.

I think most recipes are published using a microformat that makes this pretty easy, and that's why Paprika (I use it too!) so rarely screws up.
Yep. And if Google detects that your page contains a recipe and the microdata isn't perfect, or doesn't include all the things that Google wants so it can show your recipe to people without them clicking through to your site, Google sends you an e-mail through Webmaster Tools telling you to fix it, with the implied threat that your page won't be listed if you don't allow Google to use your work for free.
Maybe if they used a carrot in addition to the stick, it'd feel less sleezy, but I'm not sure what exactly that would look like.
