That's not what incognito mode is. It literally says on the first page when you open incognito window. People want to skip reading technical details when provided but then get angry when a company does the exact thing they warned about.

Also where does this end? Should car dealerships be allowed to analyze your data? Cars you've bought, cars you test drove etc.?

A disclaimer that a technical vulnerability exists isn't some kind of implicit invitation for a company like Google to use that vulnerability for their benefit. It's true that it's technically possible to track users using a private browsing mode, but it is not ethical.

If you have a car with a broken lock, that's not some kind of open invitation to burglars to steal whatever they want from your car.
