LOL I'm not so sure that's true. Like many others, I hated it when I first saw it, and I still do. What you have to admit, however, is that every single Google user in the universe now knows that he or she can add a customized background image to the default Google search page. Annoying the bejeezus out of a lot of us for a few hours allowed them to gain near 100% knowledge of a new feature, and I doubt they'll lose any customers because of it. Conversely, they may gain some new ones b/c you have to have a Google account to use the feature.
