That's a nice addition for those that want security over convenience. I wonder why it took them 11 years after this was written to add it.

I mean, in 2012 they didn't even have 2FA yet. Also IIRC they haven't started really leaning into the privacy angle until maybe around 2019-20 publicly, and from there it probably wasn't the highest priority item for the security team. Not excusing how long it took, but they are a business after all and with how scary the warnings around ADP are I doubt it's a very marketable feature with a lot of reach.
