#2I suspect this will lead to an increase in the number of people staying on Win10 and below. Naturally, MS will also continue spreading their usual FUD in their attempts at persuading the userbase to "bend over and take it".
This will also lead to an increased demand for custom "distros" and modding tools and such, which has always been a bit of an "underground" community but has occasional resurgences. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40130230
As the old saying goes: "challenge accepted." ;-)

I can't imagine IT departments are going to put up with this, either.

#4National Defense runs almost entirely on Windows workstations, including "high-side" or classified networks.
I can't imagine the powers that be are too thrilled with this feature, and much like the Intel TPM High Assurance bit, I bet there's an undocumented way to remove it.

#5It is possible to uninstall any Windows component if you know which files contain it. And it's not like Windows would refuse to boot if Recall exe/dlls suddenly go missing.

Nope, not enjoying this at all. We're already looking at full OS alternatives for our workloads.

#7Just like Microsoft told congress that Internet Explorer couldn’t be uninstalled from Windows 98, even though it didn’t come preinstalled with Windows 95.

Why wouldn't government customers want this feature, they're obsessed with collecting logs of what occurs on managed devices

#9Of course not. Even though everyone tells me that all Microsoft software on top of the core operating system is actually installed using the same app installation framework that all third parties use, which definitely permits uninstalling.

Not if the data stays device local. Then it's a liability.
