It basically enables a hotkey to activate screen recording.
So, it's not recording your screen all the time, without your permission? Even if it was, how is that data managed by Microsoft? That's a LOT of data...so it doesn't seem believable that MS would be that stupid.
Disclosure: I am not connected to Microsoft in any way (they'd never hire me), but I am pretty attached to my Windows system. I have used Ubuntu and Debian for a fair bit, and frankly, there are just too many rough edges. It annoyed me. Windows on the other hand, has just been getting smoother.
For me, the biggest reason why I couldn't stand Linux OSes was because I had trouble finding a PDF reader that did all the nice things Adobe Acrobat Professional does. I have to read through a lot of PDFs for work.
I also do a lot of scientific computation, but it is pretty OS agnostic as I am not tied to C when using Python+Numba(I am a huge Numba fan).
Appealing (but not something I use) "killer apps" like Vim or Emacs are also OS independent now, so yeah.
No motivation to go back to Linux.
Even if Microsoft was spying on me, I couldn't really care less, because I am a no-name nothing. Life's good.
