I think it can be explained using a simple analogy. This also relates to
abuse through link spamming, which constantly breaks the PageRank system
(see sex, drugs and gambling SERP's, for example).
The UN has, for many years, aimed to bring food and other resources to the
world's poor. One nice method for attaining the goal is to ship supplies
through trucks and helicopters. In reality, unless this process is very
tightly controlled, you will become witness to the rise of gangs and armed
criminals who take the resources from the broader population. Once the
initiative is there, there will always be some nasty individuals who
exploit it and ruin everything for everybody else. Sites get greedy and
often turn nasty. Eric Schmidt is just defending Google from criticism and
shelters them from negative sentiments. A Webmaster who is not pleased is
a client that is lost and spread anti-Google propaganda.
