Why would Google, internally, implement a feature as if they were maliciously attacking their own systems?

They could use that to suppress funding to websites that are not in line with Google world views and boost funding to websites aligning with their views. They could also use this to help website competitors who pay for ad words. My traffic also got down once I stopped paying for ad words, but the increase of traffic I was getting from ads, was nowhere near the size of the drop after I stopped using it. Then they capped the ad sense.

So they can not pay the content providers and pocket the advertising money?
Not saying that's what happened but there's definitely motive.
