I understand why you're troubled, but I see other factors that make it better. We're constantly saturated with information, with Google and everyone else vying for our attention. Our attention is valuable and this kind of material treats that with respect. So they would not waste it by making us put in extra effort.
Writing words alone takes less time than adding illustration, so that form is something that respects the time of the writer at the expense of the reader. The plain fact is, we don't learn less through comics, we learn more and better in less time, at the expense of Google doing more work in the form of illustrations.
Why is that good in this case?
Because Google is trying to convince you of something. You are being persuaded. Why let them do that? You are giving something to them: your attention. So you deserve a comic.
