It probably is worth it. Look at VW, "surely someone would catch them" worked out for them for years, and was quite profitable for them.

- MichaelGG 10y agoI suspect Microsoft's upside in capturing more details (websites visited?) for use in what, advertising?, less than VW's upside in circumventing physics. Ads make money but it seems hard to capitalise off of secret collection - too many People involved and you can't advertise your capabilities to clients.

You don't have to tell advertisers how you got the data, just that you can show their ads to a certain demographic. And "websites visited" is just one of the things they can collect. Being able to advertise based on your documents, work-flow, social interactions, etc is probably much more powerful.
