Because we already know that when any other, non-journalistic kind of source writes about that same topic, it will apply its own programatic capitalization standard, not the journalism one. For example, academic arts journals (except where one might have a divergent house style) will apply the excessively lowercasing, academic standard to the title, exactly the opposite of the excessively uppercasing convention of the news sources one had noticed so far; a mainstream book publisher will apply the middle-ground, five-letter rule (again, unless they have a house style rule that differs on this; some North American book publishers would actually go with the lowercase-all-prepositions academic rule, following 649:

When it comes to actually determining what an article's name should be, such searches cannot be relied upon as if they are sources themselves (your interpretation of their results is, again, original research).

Some simple facts about style guides and English usage are that style is largely arbitrary, there is no central authority, there are no absolute rules, and virtually every single style matter – even basic stuff like "start a sentence with a capital letter" – has conflicting advice about it in various style guides. This means that every style rule on WP is guaranteed to have someone who doesn't agree with it, and every editor is going to disagree with at least one such rule. Just deal with it.
