Who the **** within Google spouts that utter nonsense?
And how ironic that Google, a company whose rise was predicated
on being the search engine that spared us such nonsense in its
early years, should now preach it!
Usability on the Web works by the server serving information,
and the user's device presenting it in a manner appropriate to the user.
Usability issues arise when a server (or more specifically an attempt to
"design" something on it) subverts the user's device.
mod_autoindex doesn't override anything, it just presents a list
which will appear with the user's own choice of presentation elements.
Any usability issues there are BY DEFINITION on the client side.
Having said that, if you want to subvert mod_autoindex to satisfy
some total idiot who happens to work for Google, you'd just set
a stylesheet for mod_autoindex's display and use that to impose
your own or your master's preferences on users.
