App developers can choose to record the uncorrected (no snapping) data.

But it seems that using other apps can enable it (it's a system-wide setting).
Being a bike app, and knowing there are many MTB trails that are near (bit not necessarily on) roads; I would assume the Strava developers would find a way to stop this. But apparently not.
