I agree. That would be awesome, but probably beyond what we can expect an ad company to do as part of its mission to sell ads.
But they might do it if they thought doing so would cause more people to use their their search engine more, thereby generating more ad clicks. I know I probably would, but otoh I’m probably not their target demo (since I only click about 7 ads per year, usually after coming home drunk from some event).

"Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful."
(https://www.google.com/intl/en/about/ according to Google search today, although I can't see that text in the throng of large images.)
Needs tweaked, that 'universally' is now melting away. Must be the water heating up, as the frog didn't say.
Croak.
If this were meant to benefit users, it would be an optional filter at the discretion of the user, not a built-in "feature" of the algo.
