To be clear, Google will still be storing copies of the pages they crawl. They just won’t be making those copies available to end users.

Absolutely. This is just locking off users access and is an example of enshittification. 0 benefit to users but benefits to Google (more click through to sponsored links, and blocking AI content crawlers probably)
