Isn’t it simple? I don’t want another entity to have data about my personal curated search results.
It’s fine for me if Google sees some essentially anonymous query for “apple” from me, and sees what I selected, and learns in aggregate what searches for “apple” means, maybe even with extra context that helps distinguish different modes in the results.
It starts being a huge problem if the next time I visit, Google first detects it’s me, looks up a special index of my selected results, and modifies the results to my query to be those.
