I'm surprised Google's own Search team doesn't get frustrated enough by Pinterest results contaminating their own day-to-day searches that they'd consider ranking Pinterest results lower.

They aren't going to de-optimize their careers in order to optimize search just for themselves. Google used to be somewhat optimized for power users, but I suspect that learn-to-rank is over-optimizing search ranking for the median user.
