Sorry if this seems blunt, but in what planet have you've been living in that you're still not aware that google, meta, bing and pretty much all ad companies have been serving huge amounts of scams and malware since the dawn of time (in internet years) and have always done very little or nothing about it?
most google sponsored results for MacOS lead to a dodgy curl that they want you to blindly paste. Google needs to get its act together, or lose all trust.

It has lost all trust from me by now. A google search for ABC will return all of ABC's competitors, sometimes ABC itself, and sometimes malware.
