I think the outrage is warranted, but software engineers allowed this precedent many years ago. I can see the parallels between this and "security" software that is highly invasive. Software that installs itself in your certificate chain to decrypt all TLS communication, companies like Netskope that offer bridges with admin cloud credentials and check up on all changes you make to cloud documents, or the infinite array of software that captures every keystroke or file saved and filters it for patterns and reviews by a human. There's also software where a company can get a live capture of your desktop, though I've never discovered it in use. If you tell the average Jill/Joe about this, generally you'll see a reaction of shock, where if you tell an engineer about it they shrug it off. When you allow the surveillance state of the government to continue to expand you can expect the nanny behaviors of corporations to expand too.
