To some extent, part of Google's ability to foil bad website behavior relies on security through obscurity. If Google doesn't tell or hint to anyone how the cheat-detecting algorithms work... well, isn't that good for Google? they dont have to tell anyone how they found the problem, just where. if the webmaster of a site is deliberately trying to cheat google, they already know what pages are in offence anyway.
I could make the argument that since (as you argued) Google is a public company, they have to do what's best for the shareholders by doing what's best for Google. But that is an irrelevant argument, since there's really only three people whose opinions on the subject matter. then why say it.
If Google ever did do something along the lines of what you're proposing, they'd have to put a lot of time & effort into setting up a system that can't be easily abused by link spammers, is easy to use for idiots, etc etc etc. not really, if they already have a system to detect anyway. and it doesnt have to be that easy to use for idiots.
That may be more trouble than it is worth, compared to saying "not our problem, deal with it yourself." on a small scale maybe, but a search engine would want to return the most relevant results. helping sites get relisted would be good for google.

most of the finest feats in engineering come more out of pride/passion for a subject than profit.
this is specially true in automobiles.
I know of clubs that photograph your id as you enter, one even has a stipulation in their license that forces them to. it's done so that if shit happens out the front police know who was there.

in australia (and i assume most other places), selling anything is illegal if you're trying to pass it off as an illegal drug.
it's not out of the question, but not tipping shouldn't be out of the question either. if a tip is expected they should put it on the bill.
but, b) Existing Santa does not exist is not a contradiction.
we're not talking about all information, were talking about one article. with seemingly no valid reason to be withheld.
howabout, your right to revieve information via a free and open press.
Right, that's exactly what i said.
