It's neither. It's "click here to dismiss this annoying message asking you about something you don't want"

It's essentially the ux equivalent of an ad or newsletter popup.

There are poor implementations of this, certainly. Is that the only way this feature could be used? Would it still be obtrusive if it were on the help/knowledgebase page?

Imagine that these exist _alongside_ step-by-step documentation reachable by specific searches "How do I download in CSV?".

It's definitely not equivalent to an advertisement.
