If there is no open internet, there is nothing to index or organize.

If anything Apple has does more harm than anyone to the Web by pushing the idea of native apps for everything served from a closed proprietary App Store that you can’t even side load around.

You can index and organize billions of AMP pages.

You can index and organize the content of an intranet of every large organization.

Good luck. The magic of the internet is that everything is public and interlinked.

Usually within a company the incentives are such that information is more tightly controlled. A software engineer doesn't see purchase orders and an HR specialist doesn't see software assignments. Usually a directory is more useful than a search within a company. Obviously there are exceptions.

I've worked at several large companies and all are very bad at documenting anything.
