You can listen to most podcasts through any platform you choose, I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion

Any site that uses AI generated images for the thumbnail can fuck off, I'd rather see nothing

What are the actual reasonable outcomes here:
- The search engine becomes successful and requires monetization to pay for the hosting/indexing costs
- The search engine does not become successful and the ever increasing cost of indexing the entire internet forces monetization or shut down

Thankfully Spotify's podcast platform still supplies RSS for most podcasts. The only exclusive podcast I listen to got so much backlash they had to make it non exclusive again
