If I were a content creator, why would I still need to let Google crawl my site. It probably won’t bring any traffic to my site.

Site owners haven’t figured that out yet. They still cling to the notion that search optimization works. And it still does, to some extent.
Like, if you’re a small business owner providing local services in your city and you get customers that find you through Google, what can you do except continue to optimize for Google?

True. In your example, that makes sense. In cases where like newspaper/ journalism that earns ads revenue when ppl visit their articles, they will eventually lose those ads revenue when Gemini answers everything. But as u said, if they don’t let google to crawl, they lose ads revenue now. Tough choice.
