It is not only resources, it is the algorithm and the personal data in
question. They link and rate and provide (personalized) results. This way
it is unlikely two different persons searching the same string would get
same results.
This was in the beginning. Then it became business and now it is political
and I am not sure anymore if this is exactly what I want, but as said
technical stuff is more or less neutral and in this case acceptable.
