You're right, it's fantastical, but it's still worth talking about.

Is it though?

It's a feature which is very clearly evil and of very little benefit to the user. Only a shit business like Microsoft would even attempt it, lie about it being secure, then make it "optional" (and we all know what that means) and it will still be an insecure mess when it's done, sucking down resources from a machine I purchased for no benefit to myself.

The "feature" by it's current definition can only be conceived of by a piece of shit organisation like Microsoft.

No need to separate the art from the artist in this case, as they are perfectly aligned.
