that's the thing that really terrifies me. not that it will eventually become impossible to disable, but the fact that it being baked in to the OS means an attacker or abuser can just re-enable it. probably with a single PS command.
it's making a keylogger and half the functionality of a RAT with full history into a LOLbin. and it won't be flagged or disabled by any security tools.
the *productivity measurement* tools MS has already been marketing for years were bad enough, how long until recall becomes a part of the legal hold workflow? how long until your boss watches every single thing you do because let's be honest, plenty of shitty bosses are just petty cops deep down. what about the creepy sysadmin with a crush on someone, who then harvests their email password with recall? how much damage could someone do with those credentials?
the possibility for abuse is so intensely, wildly outsized with any actual utility that anyone can imagine, you would have to be completely out of touch with even basic human decency to think this is a good idea.
