Pretty much this, I don't see why there's a controversy in the first place. It's a search engine, not a trusted paper. It's supposed to present people with whatever content is the most popular on the internet, not vet it or fact-check it, unlike what would be expected of a site like Wikipedia.
The problem stems less from Google itself and more from the misconceptions of what the engine is supposed to be about. If you believe that whatever it serves you is true then you essentially believe the entirety of the internet.
