What's the big deal about the Google Toolbar's AutoLink feature?

As far as I can see, it doesn't transform documents unless you tell it to -- and you have to tell it to for each individual document. If you're so scared about being lead off to sites owned or affiliated with Google, how about just not clicking the button?

Compare it to something like the Eater of Meaning (which seems to be down right now). If you run a page through that, it gets changed. But it's no big deal - because you told it to do that. Why is AutoLink any different?
