It's because they want this. Microsoft Recall I am sure on a domain will be expanded upon to allow for auto capturing screenshots that can be parsed with AI to generate statistics of who is "working". Without the legal issue of saying "we don't install monitoring software".

Microsoft will slap a license on that bad boy and businesses will eat it up to use against employees they want to terminate for cause anyway because they slipped up viewing a video from manager who sent them a cat video to watch that is less than 30 seconds long.

The other is how businesses will be crying when the feds just use it against them for finding fraud in business because they never bought the "enterprise" license that limits sharing and that doesn't funnel everything to Microsoft anyway.
