I expect what they mean is Waze uses real-time traffic data for routing. Google Maps displays traffic conditions but I don't remember that impacting the routing it gives you. Last time I used it, it just marked road sections as high-traffic but didn't truly re-route around on the fly.

Google maps re-routes around traffic on the fly and has done so for many years. It shows you the option and then you have to tap to confirm.

In my experience it's tap to decline the rerouting, not tap to confirm.
