      It’s as far as I remember literally always said it’s basically just turning off local history, and not for true privacy. The wording has changed over the years and frankly only become more explicated and clear about that fact.

      This is a rare case of google NOT being the problem here. People are misusing a tool that has always been honest about itself.
