The move is a medium between not allowing people to manage the information associated with them and not collecting that data in the first place.
Shouldn't this read:
"... allowing people to manage the locally stored information..."?

I seriously doubt that any data collected by Google will actually be deleted from all servers and back-ups, but only marked as "hidden from user".

Believe Google and you'll believe anything. A few months ago Google REMOVED the option (Search Settings) of choosing NOT to have the extremely annoying search-term history from being displayed in the drop-down list - typically one could only do this when signed out, but one cannot do this at all now. and this option hasn't been restored in Google's latest tinkering.
