And further to what Michele said. The adding of records to people is
being done at the FamilySearch site not in your file.
The only way you add data to your file is through a deliberate choice.
Using the arrows in LFS for example to upload date from your file to
FamilySearch or for downloading data and sources from Family Search,
another option is by using copy and paste to transfer whatever you wish.
I frequently use the FamilySearch hints to manually add a source to my
file using copy and paste since I do not like the way that LFS adds
sources and want to control where the sources are linked in my file.

FamilySearch is different (in many ways). To get a FamilySearch hint
that person has to have an FSID entered in Legacy which means you have
already linked your person to that same person on FamilySearch (that
does NOT mean that there was actual data transfer in either direction).
When you get a FamilySearch hint you are taken straight to that person’s
record matching page. FamilySearch is basically asking you, does this
record match your guy? If it does, you can tell FamilySearch to add
that records to that person with that FSID number on FamilySearch. You
don’t have to do this but those people who work with the Family Tree on
FamilySearch normally will do this.

Ok Legacy does not provide information from my file to the hint sources.
Why does FamilySearch then ask me if I wish to add each record to a
person in their database? I'm curious as to what exactly is going on
with that.
