Is Google Too Hard on Webmasters?

With all the Google Algorithm changes, as a webmaster it can be tough to keep up. Once you think you've got the hang of it, Google rips the rug from under you. I spend a lot of time researching keywords, meta tags, and page rank scores. 

I've come to find out, that maybe webmasters need a break. I think that when Google designed the search engine they didn't expect all these problems. Sure, there are people trying to "game" the system, but it's a small percentage compared to the trustworthy webmasters. 

It's the same thing with pirated movies. Everyone isn't bootlegging movies, there's a large percentage of people that go to the movies. My question is how will webmasters be able to keep up, if Google is constantly changing? 

I fixed my site from being hit by penguin, and then I get hit with hummingbird. It really seems like I can't catch a break. I know a lot of new webmasters who are having a hard time getting the hang of blogging. I would like to see more ways to make blogging easier.

Personal blogs don't nearly rank as high as businesses, but personal blogs are real people's opinions. I would think that's more valuable, than a company paying people to write reviews. 

If I want to read a review, I find a blog, not a company website. Is it possible for Google to get rid of some of these things like page rank, and keywords? The less things a webmaster has to deal with the better off we'll be.
