From the article ...

but that I have to wait for all the crap I don't want in the first place.

It comes down to Google telling us what it thinks we'd want, vs giving us what we actually ask for, and the time wasted doing so.

That, and probably punishing people who use ad blockers.

telling us what it thinks we’d want

that's "it thinks we’d want to buy"

They've gone for the money and are now finding out that cannabalizing search stops customers coming to their site.
