This might be due to Google turning it on by default.

I am surprised it was as long ago as 2023, but I've noticed more people
have it enabled. These are the people who presumably know nothing about
it and just use the Google Messages app for messages without worrying
about what it does.

feeding it in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xTGNNLPyMI)
