It's certainly not just Google. Same thing in Germany on DuckDuckGo.
The last time I had checked current reviews (though that was for tech products, now for DIY home improvement), I got researched lists with information – and happily clicked on the amazon.de affiliate link.
Now? I checked 20 sites that literally all had the same content because it was nothing but the highlights extracted from the Amazon product page. Utterly useless.

Don't rely on those too much, I've had some business with the publishers of those sites, and they are very low quality and basically just push the products that sell well, not the best ones. It's a scam, which is also why they usually won't say that they did a "test" (instead it's just a "comparison"), because that would hold them to higher standards and they'd catch too much flak.
