yes, but it should be opt-in not opt-out. It should not exist in my os unless I install it myself.

I could apply this line to so many things microsoft put into windows since xp.

Do you think that someone who needs this feature would remember to turn it on? /s

There is an opt out option. You even get 50gb of space back when you do. You can even set which apps can or can't be part of the recall program. You can delete all the data like how you would delete browser history.

I think the main thing is that you're in control of the data.
