To be precise, it triggers a per-request flag that suppresses the storage of the AuthenticationResult into the IdPSession object. As a result, the next request doesn't see an "active" AuthenticatonResult from that flow, causing it to run again, ergo no SSO.

It's preventing SSO by preventing the storage of the outcome that would make SSO possible.

Login flows can manipulate a setting at runtime to tell the system what to do, meaning the checkbox is an example of something that triggers a more generally available feature buried inside the depths of the authentication interface in the system.
