Google Incognito is not as Advertised

I cba to read all of that, but when it comes to private browser modes I was always under the impression that all I was really doing was hiding what I was doing from people that took a cursory look at something like browser history if they accessed my computer.

Yes that's correct. It just deletes local data like cookies and history.

If a website decides to log ip addresses or keep fingerprints of users all serverside, incognito does nothing to prevent that.
