What does that mean, to accurately depict what's "out there"? That could be as nonsensical and unproductive as completely killing the spam filter in your email. Do you feel that that GMail and other modern-spam-detecting solutions have given you an inaccurate view of the "real" mail you are getting?
By the late 2000s, content farms such as Demand Media were churning out clickbait that followed the best practices with SEO. Demand Media [0] consistently beat out the NYT on SERP, thanks in part to a store of 1 million domain names used to serve up ads and links for topics ("howtomakeasandwich.com" would like to junk articles about sandwiches). By 2010, DM had 105 million unique visitors a month [0] and reached a market cap of $2B. The NYT, by comparison, had about 32M unique monthly visitors [1] -- across all of its properties (BostonGlobe.com, etc), and its market cap in 2011 was about $1.5B [1].
Demand Media beat the living shit out of NYT and every other quality media site by playing to the the known heuristics of Google's SERP. Every other media company had the opportunity and resources to play spamlord. Apparently they didn't, and by 2011 no other media company was positioned to create content (of any quality) with the scalable efficiency of Demand Media.
Google could have just accepted that "might makes right", but that is not an objective/neutral decision, nevermind a rational one.

I did hate the Demand Media bullshit, however. But as I've said, I'd rather that Google flagged that stuff, and let me filter it out. I mean, maybe I'm researching an article about Demand Media. How could I do it if Google is suppressing it? Could Google perhaps have an "expert" option? Analogous to "family friendly" or whatever it's called.
If I don't want to see whatever results are useless or offensive, I'll do my own filtering.
But then, I grew up on searching the scientific literature using Science Citation Index. And other stuff in LexisNexis. You don't expect stuff to be missing because it isn't cited much, hasn't been replicated, or whatever. You can filter by how well stuff has been cited, of course.
