For one, like you said, there are so many spam websites out there that it's extremely difficult for Google (or any search engine for that matter) to gather genuine results. I also think that it's a matter of incentive. As long as

Doesn't have to be this verbose even. Just a "I've been using Notepad++ for years now, thank you so much for it!" and a bit of "I understand that there are many issues that require your attention right now but there
