Bug!?: Refspec '+' should be same as '--force' but is not

Hi there, think I found a bug...

In https://git-scm.com/docs/git-push I find:
 > The + is optional and does the same thing as --force.

The fetch documentation refers to push for the details of <refspec> so I 
assume, the statement also holds for fetch refspecs.
However, this is not true:
When I run `git fetch origin --tags --force` it will force update tags 
that changed on remote (as expected) but will NOT delete local tags.
When I run `git fetch origin` with config set to `remote.origin.fetch = 
+refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*` it will delete my local tags as if prune was set.

I'm using Git 2.54.0.windows.1
