No offense, but you seem to be raging a bit there.
Naturally, you have many interests. We all do. Google is trying to get the best picture of what those interests are, arguably so that they can give better than chance (or whatever they had before this). As usual, I would suspect that having more information trumps having less, so I argue that SPYW is improvement.
You're right, this upsets me a little. It upsets me because it takes control away from me and makes me work harder.
Instead of just searching (typing words that I expect to find in result documents), I'll have to try to second-guess Google and craft my query in such a way that it guesses right.

Sorry if this post seems impolite...
