The thing google really excels at is questions like "what bakeries near here are open on Sunday after 12:00h".
Sure, I can go to 15 individual websites, select the specific branch I want (if I got another map service to spit out names of bakeries) and hunt for their opening hours in 15 different styles of menus.
Google is just really good if it can sell you something. And sometimes, I need something to be sold to me.
