Supermarkets organise food and make them accessible [to paying customers], as does (not with food this time) a private library. Sure their way of wording it makes it possible to read it naively as being altruistic, but technically I don't think they're not organising the world's data and making it accessible. Just perhaps not always in the way the world would most appreciate.

Supermarkets and Google do not have comparable business models.

My point was that organising something and making it accessible to people doesn't have to mean "without doing so in the way that makes money".
