While Google goes out and scrape the world, they don't feed the jobs into Google Base themselves. This means that when you decide to use Google Base you are in control when putting jobs on, and when pulling them again. Quite unlike verticals, where you aren't in control when they go on, and you are certainly not in control for pulling them. And the latter part is where much of the pain is. At least for recruiters, who are still the original content owners... The difference between Google Base and vertical search engines is that you control your jobs on Google Base.
