Looks like, it is connected to Google+. Past tagging other users in the annotate department, you would be tagging their Google+ profile.

However, Google+ saw a low pct of user engagement and difficulties in meeting consumer's expectations. Thereby, Google was compelled to shut down its consumer version of Google+ in March 2019. That means YouTube functionalities built with Google+ were also impacted, including the tagging feature.
