> "user experience worse"

Not necessarily. I read this as saying that if other players have well marked up content, they should have their listings appear in infoboxes, perhaps alongside Google's. Not that the infoboxes be removed.



Pretty sure that's what Google Product Search used to do. They ended up having to change it because the resulting quality of those listings was terrible.

See https://commerce.googleblog.com/2012/05/building-better-shop...

Maybe if they tried again they could do better this time; I'm a little skeptical though.


Wow, the screenshot in the post is like a parody. (And that's the "new Google Shopping experience").

That's pretty much how ads on Google used to look. They've improved quite a bit since then.
