Why is content collection for generative AI so much worse than for search indexes?

Big tech companies aren't bothered that it happens, they're bothered they're not personally profiting from it.

Because the search index redirects the user to your site. The ai model just directly presents the data to the user without them having to go to your site, or in most cases, even knowing where the information is from.
