Google created an ecosystem, spammers take steps that are criminal in this particular ecosystem and work against it's 'citizens'. Maybe their actions are not criminal in general terms, but it's at least scammy (not to say worse) when you look at it considering only this narrow subject (getting information through the internet). Google needs to do a better job, yes, just like lawmakers need to do it IRL, but it doesn't change the fact that IRL also mostly criminals are the ones that force the law system to adjust. Your post makes a lot of sense, but IMO there's nothing wrong in blaming spammers for the current situation.
