But then the data would be written to disk, and then it would be deleted from disk, which would leave a trace.
I get this isn't your threat model. But for the people whose threat model it is then that's unacceptable.
Deleting data on disk does not actually remove the data. It's still persists especially on SSDs.
In private browsing it would not be saved to disk? This is a real difference then.
Its not about "my threat model", its about if private browsing actually makes sense, or if it just restricts the browsers capabilities.
So in PB everything is kept in RAM? And this cant be reproduced with a setting?

If you're saying private browsing mode doesn't make sense for anybody, I'm going to disagree with you. If it doesn't work for you that's fine. But it is something for other people
I will check if there are other settings to avoid writing to disk. If there are none, valid point and this cant be changed. If there are some, I stay with my point.
