Google has stated repeatedly that their goal is to provide the best possible search results, and avoid users from clicking into an error message. If IP filtering is perceived by Google to make their results look faulty to those who are blocked, would you not expect them to take action, up to dropping the sites that do this?

I see, Google's business model can't "reliably" do something so the answer is to make it a violation of their guidelines to do so? That's rich.

No it is not. That would be evil. You have to let them in your house or we will punish you.
