Why is predictive text so hard to disable? (beehaw.org)

Does anyone know, or can anyone guess, the business case for predictive text? On phone apps, it is often incredibly difficult to turn off. Why is that, do you think? (The examples I have recent experience with are Facebook and Outlook mobile apps.)

I would have thought that, for AI training purposes, they would want humans typing things and not just regurgitating canned responses. But apparently not?

Is that really the case? Would everything one type to the keyboard be send to the companies and used as training data for AI? Does that any keyboard at all on the smartphone?
