>I've not seen anything to make me think this feature is intended for surveillance as opposed to personal utility.
Now that's a very naive take.
They already use tons of telemetry to profie you for ads, snitch about you to your boss, share with partners, and so on, and only growing on that front. Plus all the cooperation they do with their favorite government.
But I pay for Windows! Surely, the existence of a preeminent financial contract with my benefactor means they would never sell me downriver to a suspicious partner. At least, that's the rationale I seem to hear these days from people that pay extra for peace-of-mind.
But also very correct.
