I'm just not sure how this gives me control of my information, whether I want it sent or not to Google, and if they're retaining it for training or not.

That last question I don't even want to ask because the first two doesn't seem clear.

This could be simply fixed by adding the feature, and defaulting it off, and letting people learn about it and enable it.

That's not the goal. Turning your information into their information is the goal. If training an LLM on some data isn't copyright infringement but instead makes it a brand new non-derivative work, then training an LLM on your personal information arguably means it's no longer your personal information, but instead a legally distinct work.

Nobody gets a promotion for doing that.
