If private browsing doesn't make you anonymous, what's the purpose?

I just read a warning: Private Browsing doesn't make you anonymous, keep advertisers from tracking you, etc. I thought that's the whole purpose of private browsing. I understand your ISP, webmaster, but shouldn't private browsing make you completely anonymous?

Sorry, that's not the purpose of the Private Browsing feature. Private Browsing allows you to browse the Internet without saving any information about which sites and pages you’ve visited.
