In fact, it would make more sense to show results consistent with what the specific user wants, not to force something on them that’s different from their views.
That said, I’m not convinced Google doesn’t alter results based on monetary issues (such as paid advertisers). Or lets results of their own products climb higher in the rankings than they normally would. -

Most (almost all??) of the bias in Google search results comes from the user themselves. A few years ago, I tested this with 2 friends. One if very left and the other very right. They each brought their personal laptops to a local micro-brew with free WiFi (Like, who doesn't have free WiFi anymore) and each entered the same exact search terms.
The biggest differences were on the term "Global Warming". Each result 100% validated their own held beliefs.
Each individual gets to control Google's search results biases and Google allows each of us to live in a self confirming confirmation bias bubble. -
