Could still be due to search personalisation.

I get programming results even for non programming terms. I am pretty confident that's not the case for my mom.

It stands to reason that people's search results could be wholly uninformative if Google thinks the subject matter is unlike what you usually read.

The other day I was looking for official website of Moldovan government to find out their covid rules.It took me an hour to find, it was below UK and US gov pages about Moldova and below random media articles and blogposts.

There are also many times when you search an official UK government service, like applying for a driving lisence or filing taxes, and the first page is just full of scams. This has been goung on for years, they should pin the official resources to the top for cases like this.
