For a lot of people, the headlines are all they really want to read plus maybe a snippet of a sentence or two. News outlets that expect to sell those eyeballs lose out and consider this unfair competition from Google.

Google, for its part, has been perfectly happy to remove publications from Google News at their request. Or leave entire countries.

A competitor you can shut down at any time by asking isn't much of a competitor.

I agree with you that it's an exceptionally self-serving way of approaching the subject.
