Your own shitty[0] remark highlights why your post doesn't have much of a point. The reason the impact of this change is worth mentioning at all is because google already wields the centralized control needed to effect change to such a massive volume of internet traffic on it's whims.

Edit: [0] "shitty" is not a quality rating, but my assessment of the attitude embodied in your comment. Not specifically the bit I quoted, but how it fits into your assessment of contribution. You're acting "shitty" by implying the fact "everyone" can't do it is a matter of skill, while knowing full well that access is the more important factor here.
