Beyond a point, the scale and complexity of the information goes beyond what is required for a simple conversation.
Most people want the information spoon fed to them. The issue is that they may not even be framing the correct question.
To correct that they will always need to (at some point) engage with complexity.
And as long as someone can meme or use cheap arguments to dodge a difficult/complex point, theres no real advantage to that level of complexity.
So the only people who are digging that deep are people who want to figure something out. For them, google works just fine.
