> Microsoft controls the OS, the feature, and the update pipeline
So then this is true whether or not Recall exists, because Microsoft could have gathered this data either way. They could decide tomorrow to have Explorer siphon off that data, they could have Edge siphon off that data, they could have Windows update siphon off that data. Microsoft could have silently been doing this the whole time.
If you don't trust Microsoft with Recall, you shouldn't trust Microsoft with any of it. And you probably should have moved off Windows a long time before.
> MS is structuring and indexing your private data at the system level
This has been going on for a long time. Once again, if you don't like the idea of Microsoft running software in a Microsoft operating system to read your files you really shouldn't be running Windows, and shouldn't have been running Windows for decades.
