I believe this is the case for two reasons:

1. Structurally: Few search engine companies will throw away an opportunity to collect data when there's so much for that organization to gain by indexing that data.

2. Specific to Google: When Google took on DejaNews's archive of Usenet posts Google's search engine Google released copies of posts labeled "X-No-Archive: yes" for a while.

Overall, I think people are better off understanding that their boilerplate is not binding on most people (if anyone) and they need to be more careful in what they send.

Aside from the fact that you should just assume that nothing on the intarwebs is secret. ;)
