Isn't that already the norm, or at least very very common? It's just a 3rd party package totally focused on surveillance, not built into the OS and used for some user-accessible features.

These applications would be novel, at least on a widespread basis in Western liberal democracies.

We already know Google trains its AI on people's private emails and Five Eyes conducts mass surveillance on Western citizens (see: Snowden). You can be sure that the people behind the PRISM program are salivating at the thought of access to the unencrypted Recall databases, and that they'll be twisting Microsoft's arm for backdoor access.

I think you're making the mistake of interpreting this as a binary thing, which obscures the difference between, for instance, tapping phone calls and installing bugs in every room of everyone's home (a la 1984's telescreens). Or in this case, Google scanning the emails you sent/stored on their servers vs. Microsoft storing and scanning every action you take on your PC. It would be novel because most people outside a corporate environment don't have a keylogger/screen-recorder running on their system.
