I find the lack of granularity annoying. Your search history is generally less sensitive than your location, but both are bundled up in 'Web & App Activity'. There's no way to get Google to remember my search queries from my phone without it also creepily recalling every single location I brought my phone to. This feels almost like a dark pattern, like bundling a newsletter subscription when signing up to service.

But granularity is exactly what led to this outrage. Complex settings causing confusion. More granularity makes it worse.
