Seems like it's intended for content stealing from every place that doesn't immediately implement Google's New Web Order as an addition to robots.txt.

"Your do not enter sign uses font we don't like, so we'll just ignore it"

What makes you think this? Why do you think Google actually cares about your sign if all they want to do is steal from you?

IIRC, Google has precedent on this - e.g. scanning full books for search unless the owner explicitly refused.

They are the ultimate ask for forgiveness rather than permission. Copyright has been a thing for a long long time before googs developed their scanning. They were well aware that it should have been an opt-in, but knew they’d never gain traction for their little project. So they bull in a China shop’d their way to a point of too far to stop them.
