The real question is why the fuck are people ok with Google indexing SO and not OpenAI? Doesn’t make any fucking sense.
Because Google is free and OpenAI isn’t. It’s one thing to take free content, index it, then allow anyone to access that index. It’s another thing when you take free content, index it, then hide that index behind a paywall.
Are you sure? Because Google is not free at all, you’re paying for it through privacy invasion and ads. While ChatGPT is actually free to use for end users - no ads, nothing.
As your link is for custom enterprise solutions, it’s worth noting that Google has the same shit which also costs money https://cloud.google.com/pricing/
What does Google’s cloud service have to do with what we’re discussing (Google indexing content vs. SO OpenAI doing it)? They’re not even similar services.
It’s “freemium”, not free. There is a difference. You can’t use ChatGPT 4 without paying as well as the API. Also, you are limited in the number of prompts you can make per hour before you are put on pause and asked to pay.
Search engines like Ecosia, DuckDuckGo, etc. don’t ask you for money. Regardless how intensively you use it. (They might come with other drawbacks though like Google with privacy, environment, ethical principles, …)

It;s more free than Google.
I’ve never been asked to pay for using one of the aforementioned search engines. I have been asked to pay for OpenAI products.
So I don’t see how you come to that conclusion.
