Neutrality and moderation are conflicting goals.
You can only scale moderation so far, and non-neutrality exposes you to liability (not moderating something can be construed as permitting it)
If Google really wanted they could've let us self moderate / let us install crowdsource block lists .. but I'm betting they decided against, as it'd help people block ad-funded sites their monopoly depends on.
