Plumber 'A' writes an article on how to fix a leaky faucet. It's very easy to understand and great for the user.
Plumber 'B' writes a similar article but it's not so great. But plumber 'B' knows how to build links and does so. Assuming same on page SEO, google sends it's users to Plumber 'B'. The worst article.
In terms of user experience the first article is much better and the user would have a better experience but since google rewards link building the user doesn't get as good an experience.
User experience is not google's top priority. Money is.

Again, you are being silly. If you provide bad results... you have no users and as such, no revenue.
Furthermore, no search engine can dethrone them, so clearly they are doing a great job no matter what people think.
Approximately 25% of their search queries each day are new. They aren't going to give a spot to a new article on a new domain with no back links vs an older article on an older domain with tons of back links.
And in your analogy, plumber b spends weeks or months making his article rank. Not minutes. And he has to do it in a way which not only goes undetected and unreported... but he has to provide good content, otherwise, it won't get clicks in the SERPs and will drop out anyway. Plumber B, still has to provide good content.... as does Plumber A. The only question is "all things being equal, who will win".
