Well that's to be expected, but if a lot of search engines start using it, it's likely that websites will start allowing it to crawl and index their pages. So there might be potential there.


It's not an issue of being allowed to crawl.


Oh I guess I misunderstood then. Why don't they crawl at Google's scale?


Mostly it comes down to their crawler itself and the cost of storing all of that data, it's sufficiently prohibitive.
