Does it, though? https://imgur.com/Yxac3mL
I turned off my ad blocker and all other Chrome extensions and tried again before taking this screenshot, and really have no idea what you're talking about.

Ah. I'm not a frequent Google user, so I've never seen that before. But I'll concede that most people are frequent Google users.
Still, the fact that Google has a workaround for this issue shows that it is an issue.

For what it's worth my Roku has a search feature that populates a list of all streaming services (including rentals) that a movie or tv show you search for is on.
I've seen plenty of sites that also combine all the streaming service lists and let you search for specific movies or just browse based on genre.
Could it maybe be easier? Sure. But I'd argue it's still a lot easier than pirating...
1. Search Google for movie you want to watch.
2. Google shows a handy "Available on" frame at the top of the page, with prices (if applicable) and services that it's on.
3. Click the link.
4. Watch.
And you can rest easy knowing that you're not breaking the law because you're cheap and for some reason feel entitled to getting things for free.
