As a developer who tried to put together a portal that was a user friendly UI for RSS feed reading and being slapped by Google as a copyright infringer, I can tell you first hand that Google has zero interest in creating a user friendly RSS reader platform.

What I had to go through to learn and build the reader and the cost I incurred both in development cost and bandwidth as well as security and maintenance and the literally thousands of hours of personal time invested in it without compensation is all lost now as I had to delete the entire instance due to fear of getting sued.

Information is no longer free. It and all means to disseminate it are completely owned with no hope of ever freeing it again.
