I'm not exactly Google's biggest fan, but what does this refer to?

They still just... show ads on search results, no? (Not that most people I know ever see them, thanks to adblockers.) The disclaimers have gotten less prominent, but I think anyone could have expected that. Are there other major things they're doing that couldn't have been expected at all in the 2000s?

Yeah I'm confused too. Google is pretty much doing the same thing as it did when they started monetizing search.
