Why should the other parties succeed? IE the aggregator sites? Is it merely because they exist?

If I make an aggregator aggregator, should I be able to demand placement on Google search results above mere aggregator sites?

Other parties should succeed because it's good for me, the consumer. If I need to take a trip, it's not in my interest at all for Google to be in the value chain and for me to pay the monopoly penalty as a consumer.

But Google was prevented from showing you direct links to directly book on the suppliers website. How is forcing users to go through an aggregator(and include them in the value chain) beneficial for users?
