Yes, and?

Right now it's pretty bad, so Google forcing it on people is quite bad.

It's almost certainly not going to be good enough by the time they start enforcing this.

And you either deal with it, or find an alternative. I'm pretty sure Google has no intention of pulling back, partly because they know the vast majority of users accept what they serve. And partly because they know many of the screamers will go quiet when it gets good enough; all they have to do is ignore them, and they have more than enough in their coffers to ignore anyone who isn't the US president.

That's true regardless of whether it gets good or not.

That depends on how long it takes and whether they keep spending the same amount of money per query.
