It's not about whatever Microsoft is doing with these features today. Maybe it's apocalyptic, maybe it's not. But what we're seeing is next-level disregard for user choice about their OS. Yes, even for Microsoft, this is exceptional.
And in the constant pursuit of monetizing our data or extracting training sets, we must confront the question of what they will push on us next, without consent or reasonable recourse.
This is not an OS under owner control, and as such, should not be trusted for any purpose where data security is a concern.
I struggle to think of a use case where it isn't.
