The content is going in circles around the primary issue, which is obviously in the case of Google, to secure its main income stream. It is okay to be more explicit about this. "Don't be evil" is a matter of past.

Actually, they do write it in their words:

These websites fund themselves with ads, but the advertisers can only afford to pay for humans to see the ads, rather than robots. This creates a need for human users to prove to websites that they're human, sometimes through tasks like challenges or logins.

I like the deceptive gaslighting in “This creates a need [highlighting by me] for human users to prove to websites that they're human” – you know, you have all seen these websites that had the need to show you a captcha before presenting you with ads, did not you? 🙃
