and your take is quite naive.

Surveillance is absolutely the purpose, overt or not. The huge push for bossware/spyware for windows in 2020+ demonstrates that the less ethical portions of industry desperately want to spy on users workstations! Eventually there will be retention laws in certain regulated industries that mandate such technologies! Why enable this potential abuse?

Microsoft is trying to Sherlock the surveillance software industry with this!

I’d rather run North Koreas spyware Red Star Linux than Microsoft Windows.
