Head to the "Find My" section in the settings, click into "Find My iPhone", and see if "Find My network" is on or off.

If it's off, you won't get the disclaimer, because it's not active.

That setting is enabled for me on iOS 15, and yet I have no such message on the power off screen.

slide to power off, Emergency SOS, Cancel

That's it. Nothing appears after I turn it off either.

Interesting. I'm on 15.1 beta, so perhaps there's a difference. Is it possible the "Find My network" isn't supported on some phones?

Look at the text under "Slide to power off"...
