I have little to no experience in SEO. Does Google have a history of weighing in on situations like this and manually penalizing bad actors? If so, I would love a link to read about.

They state that they don't manually pick results, but improve their algorythms to solve these problems. They prefer to share the least amount of details though, since it would better inform SEO spammers.

Not true, you can get penalized and you may be noticed about it in the google search console.

Thanks for the correction. I remembered it wrong. In this article for instance Matt Cutts details how they go about flagging individual pages [1]
