In an article[1] about it, it clearly says you can disable it :

>> This isn't going to sit well with everyone, and thankfully Google included a way to disable the feature, it's just a bit hidden.

Settings -> tap on the Wi-Fi -> tap on the menu button in the lower-right hand corner and select "Advanced", Uncheck "Scanning always available"

So sure, it's "a bit hidden" as the article points out, but , at least at the time the article was written, it's possible to disable this.
