The issue here is that the same companies who can afford good SEO can afford Google Adwords. While a search engine that can find you non-commercial information would be very useful it is, un-ironically, very hard to find a commercially viable business model for such a service. The profit incentive that needs to be attached to everything in a our current commercialist world really narrows the scope of feasibility for potentially cool services.

Why can't you provide search results of reddit and HN threads while also serving commercial ads in an ad section?

Because then no one will click on the ads. If what you need is in the organic results why bother with ads?

Why do people click on ads anyways? How would ads on those search results be any worse performing that ads in google search results?
