Bullshit.

This whole endeavour is looking like a careful plan to implement a smaller, slightly less horrible idea in Win11, and then creep forward from there.

Remember the model to move the goal line, folks:

Overreach
Capitulate publicly and fall back to your true target
Repeat

Best of all, these large steps can be supplemented by nudging things forward with 'adjusttments.'

They'll probably come to the "logical conclusion" that storing the data locally on the machine poses "too much risk" and just move the storage to their servers "for your safety"...
