I think it’s a combination of “search is hard” and “witty comments / titles make it even harder to search for”.
I’d argue most of these sites would be far better off with just using Algolia or Google as their main search engine and calling it a day.

Oddly, I've never heard of any actually using this API. Sites that integrate with Google only ever seem to do so by having their search box bounce you to a Google Search page.
