why would you expect it to get better if Google is broken up?
Google has a massive conflict of interest; it both sells ads to SEO'ed websites, and ranks searches. Their incentive is for you to go to the pages with the most of their ads possible. Even a company with revenue purely from ads on the search page has less terrible incentives.
