Your opinion is incorrect - it was possible to save home, work etc without agreeing to "Search & Web History" until a few months ago.

The real impact the team was looking for was building better advertising profiles on users. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18070183 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18070183
