I think this is notification is sort of the opposite of what people think it is. Facebook has had facial recognition and tag suggestions based on facial recognition for a long time. For example this [1] article from June 2017 explains how to turn it off. This new notification is about a global on/off switch that disable all facial recognition, because Facebook is going to start doing more than tag suggestions with facial recognition [2][3]. For example they are trying to detect when people are impersonating you online. The global face recognition setting defaulted to off for me, probably because I had tag suggestions disabled already.
