I worked around that by briefly enabling history, setting the Home address and then immediately turning history back off. Obviously not ideal but it solved the problem for me.
What does that achieve? They still receive your data, unless you are logged off and not using any google software.
I’d be surprised if they don’t follow that wish just for PR and legal reasons alone. The fewest people will actually opt out or if they do accidentally opt back in since the “enable web and location data” action appears anywhere from Maps to Google Home setup.
This is really just Google using hostile UX to badger people into enabling location history and (in their eyes - hopefully) leaving it on.
