It would be very expensive to create a custom version of search for these schools. It's not simply a matter of flipping a switch off. They decided that the cost of accommodating the schools wasn't worth the effort.

Surely it’s not just a handful of schools that want ai-free search. AI is niche still today

Google is only doing this to try to kill their competition, because they’re an anticompetitive trust, which hurts everyone including them
