What exactly is the comparison here?

Remembering my shell history for commands I run locally on a single computer, stored in a format I can control/edit, that is never transmitted to other people or used for advertising, that is fed into a simplistic history algorithm I have complete control over, and that I can toggle on and off at will even for individual commands -- that's the same as a 3rd party analyzing on remote servers everything I look at while I'm walking around the real world?
