I've also noticed that I'm getting top results from companies who definitely have big AdSense spend, theres likely a bias or ads aren't labeled at all. However, with some companies I sometimes find that the page being listed often doesn't even exist anymore or is simply just a title of an article who's keywords match popular searches but there is actually no content or blog post, just a title..This SEO strategy somehow can get you top ranked on Google these days. Yeah RIP Google.
