Ok, *what* are the reasons for not using Google?

I agree with Steve - there's no reason to impugn the motives of
someone looking for answers. They may not realize what an excellent
resource Google is. People have to learn how to find answers, just
like they have to learn how to use Python. Suggesting that they check
Google - if they didn't say they already did - is perfectly
reasonable. Assuming they are to lazy to do so is something else
again.
