I definitely read this like the two of you. If the information being shown by Google results is what I need, there isn't a need to click further. On top of that, many of us have been "trained" that products like ZScaler are going to block most sites and register a hit with InfoSec. I'm not going to click on bobsfunmainframefacts.com if Google scraped the needed info for me.

Card results might be a good thing overall, but they certainly aren't only good. In many cases, adding the cards takes revenue away from the exact people who collected or created the content to make them possible in the first place. We'll never know how many websites shut down or never got created to begin with given Google's history of crushing the revenue from various sites on a whim.
