That's wrong, you CAN turn it off.  I believe it's encrypted between Google and your Chrome browser, it says so but I 
haven't confirmed this myself.

Chrome can be configured to not remember passwords at all (makes a
browser pretty useless), but it won't keep them only on the local
device. If allowed to remember passwords, it uploads them to Google.
No knob to turn sync off.
