So you're suggesting Google crippled the feature so it doesn't get used? This seems unlikely.
For Google privacy is a problem, since they want as much data they can get. So they've put in "incognito" so it sounds modern enough what competitors have with E2E, but they'll try and make it inconvenient and not default as much as they can.

Of course they won't be open about this, because they're making the world a better place <insertcuteemojihere>
