If you aren’t logged into Google there’s no information for google to glean from your iOS search.

Not true, Google has loads of ways to figure out who you are, logging in is just one of them.

Well, they probably still fingerprint you and build a profile around that fingerprint - and when you do log in, they probably associate that fingerprint with your profile.

Is that kind of fingerprinting allowed in EU? If that's happening at least for big tech I'd assume there would be some ongoing investigation?
