Within "settings"? Is this referring to the dark pattern of providing users with a toggle "Improve model for everyone" that doesn't actually do anything? Instead users must submit a request manually on a hard to discover off-app portal, but this dark pattern has deceived them into think they don't need to look for it.

Yes, could you please explain why toggling "Improve model for everyone" off doesn't do anything and provide a link to this off-portal app that you mention?
