Short of literally having people retype the disclaimer before letting them use incognito mode, it seems pretty absurd to blame google when they clearly give you all the information necessary to know what it does and doesn't do.

Right, but I think people get hung up on all the stuff that chrome doesn't gather, and miss the fact that Google has other ways of tracking you via search and ads. Their fingerprinting methodology is definitely robust enough to gather data about you in incognito and they don't say that they don't do that.

I'm not disputing that the information is readily available. I'm telling you that people don't think about it that way and probably also don't read what you're referencing
