porn queries returning mainstream results has been going on for years. Google explicitly wants to make sure mainstream queries never return porn results, and they're willing to let porn queries return mainstream results in order to achieve that. It's a business decision. It doesn't mean they don't have their shit together.
The "shitty" sites ranking above yours could be better than yours for any number of reasons. You're biased, everyone thinks their own site is the best. It's probably not.

You're largely right, but there's quite a few very obvious porn queries that were returning completely garbage results. Even Pornhub and xVideos were on page 2 or 3 for porn star name searches I was testing Sunday. However, it looks today those same queries are going back to "normal" (Kendra Lust was one that I searched, and PH was #17 Sunday from many devices and geo-locations).
