To be fair, this is probably more Google not caring rather than any improvement in SEO gaming. Kagi doesn't suffer from the SEO spam like Google does, and if a small company can do it surely Google could if they wanted to.

Kagi can do it because of the fact that they're a small company, not despite it.

I doubt it has anything to do with company size. Most likely it's due to what drives their products. In the case of Google, overall it's how many ads they sell, and if improving search quality doesn't lead to more ads, then there is little incentive to do it.

For Kagi, they get revenue from customers paying for quality, so there is direct incentive to produce high quality search results.

Kagi isn't a target for SEO tactics. If they became as popular as Google, SEO manipulators would find ways to improve their position on Kagi.
