Huh, they’re not assuming anything is “being shared”.
They’re assuming that Anthropic that is already receiving and storing your data, is also training their models on that data.
How are you supposed to disprove that as a user?
Also, the whole point is that companies cannot be trusted to follow the settings.
Why can't companies be trusted to follow the settings?
If they add those settings why would you expect they wouldn't respect them? Do you think they're purely cosmetic features that don't actually do anything?
Also currently being discussed[0], on this very site, is both speculation that Meta is surreptitiously scanning your camera roll and a comment claiming that they worked on an earlier implementation to do just that.
It’s shocking to me that anyone who works in our industry would trust any company to do as they claim.

Because they can’t be?

There is an enormous gap between the behavior covered in those two cases and training machine learning models on user data that a company has specifically said it will not use for training.
Have you really never heard of companies saying one thing while doing another?
Yes, normally when they lose a lawsuit over it.
