But the more interesting question is "why is that?" And the answer is that you've used Google for so long that you've thoroughly internalized its capabilities that you think in Google and can't easily see outside of those capabilities.
In the programming language context, we call this the Blub paradox, but Blub happens everywhere, and is hardest to see when there is nothing to step up to.
If this works (a big if, IMHO, but I'm willing to give it a try), what might happen is that it might entirely recalibrate what queries you can conceive of. Until we see the system, though, it's hard to even begin to imagine what those queries might be.
How many queries in 1980 did people wish they could query Google for? Nearly none, not because people didn't have questions Google could answer, but because only a bare handful of visionaries could even conceive of Google.
Because if it looks like Google, then users will interface with it like they're used to interfacing with Google, and then you really have to win by beating Google at its own game. Much better to pick your own place & time.
So if you don't normally issue queries of this sort on Google even though you would probably get back an answer in the web page snippets, then perhaps you would not find this new system all that useful.
