I'm not sure it is. I'm looking forward to several of those features (including recall) because they will undoubtedly improve over time, for all their flaws. LLMs and "AI" features have made my life significantly easier over the last two years.

taking snapshots of your whole PC activity is a major recipe for disaster.

  As I said in another comment in this thread: There have been countless times where I was like "Oh I remember there was a book I was searching but not what the name is." and I didn't know what the name was, when I was looking for it, or the terms that I used for it. THIS is when I expect it to be useful. I'm fine with taking snapshots of my whole PC activity, as long as data is stored locally. I take plenty of screenshots myself. People act like they have never used a computer for productivity. --- Again, if someone has physical access to my PC, I have better things to worry about.

I can't remember the last time a new OS feature legitimately improved my workflow. Maybe Expose on Mac. Marginally. I don't expect anything like Recall to make me more effective. Stuff I feel that has made me more effective in 20y includes: Jetbrains products, GSuite (collab editing), GitHub and Git, insanely faster computers. But, none of these are really OS features.

  Maybe. I use my computers and software as tools that make me/my task better.

yes, it will improve, but not for your benefit same as all of Microsoft's releases post Windows 7
