And to expand on this: Assuming that they properly stop personalizing ads, there should be little reason for them to continue collecting as much data. It would especially also be a very clear violation of the law in many countries, if they did. And since it's opt-out without a direct path to opting out, the number of users that will opt out is probably below 0.1%. So, it would likely be more damaging reputation-wise and in legal fees for them to not stop collecting this data, than to just let those <0.1% get away. That's what I consider logical and is giving Google the benefit of the doubt. But it's your privacy. You don't need to give anyone any benefit. If you prefer, you absolutely should choose a doubt-free solution instead.
