a) It is a story.

b) It portrays what Microsoft originally intended: to ship Recall switched on by default and the option to switch it off hidden deep in the settings. They only backed down when it blew up in their faces.

c) If you believe they will not try again, I have a nice bridge on sale you may be interested in.

“Problem” 1 is like mostly everybody in the community. No-one expects volunteers to be available 24/7. Everybody will be cool and grateful for whatever you contribute.

Admittedly problem 2 is a bit thornier, though.

While input and feedback is good, there are ways of delivering it without making it demoralising.

It’s early days and WiP. Give them a chance.

I agree. FLOSS deemed beneficial for the public should be treated like common property, like parks, hospitals and schools and should be funded, at leas in part, by governments.

During the Clinton era Microsoft was a hair’s breadth away from being broken apart for all its anti-competitive monopolistic shenanigans – including the browser war thing that you mention.

But then Bush Junior got into power (I resist using the words “was elected”) and he swept all that away.
