Is pleasing Google now the only reason to obey the HTTP spec?




Unfortunately: Yes.

For example, I had a hard time telling people that they should use a proper HTTP redirect from their ___domain "example.com" to "www.example.com" (or vice versa), instead of serving the content on both domains. All arguments about standards, best practice etc. were unconvincing. But since Google startet to punish "duplicate content", I never had problems convincing people again.
