What is enshittification?
The phenomenon of online platforms gradually degrading the quality of their services, often by promoting advertisements and sponsored content, in order to increase profits. (Cory Doctorow, 2022, extracted from Wikitionary) source
The lifecycle of Big Internet
We discuss how predatory big tech platforms live and die by luring people in and then decaying for profit.
Embrace, extend and extinguish
We also discuss how naturally open technologies like the Fediverse can be susceptible to corporate takeovers, rugpulls and subsequent enshittification.

Why don't they just make it an app? The only problem with recall is that is us forced upon you through their operating system. There is obviously alot of data that Ms can mine from you by forcing this app through their OS, it is so blatantly obvious. The "we only store data locally" bullshit I don't believe for a second because then it would just be an app and they would probably not have bothered at all to make it.
Yeah, exactly they created it for the purpose of data mining, any possible benefit to the user is purely incidental
