At that point why do we even need Google? Any search will lead you to the same circle of mega-sites. If only sites that are already popular get exposure that's not a search engine, that's a directory. May as well go back to "Jerry & David's Guide to the World Wide Web"

The value isn't us, that care about the web and quality search results, it's the vast majority of normals that just type stuff into Google and click away. They'll continue doing that, and not even notice, when it does turn into "Jerry & David's Guide to the World Wide Web".
