Do you think you would describe yourself as above or below average in technical ability?
For example, do you know what terms like "3-2-1 backup" and "swap file" mean?
If you answered yes to either, I don't think you are the primary customer. You are the type of person who will turn this off and move on with their day.
I think this argument you are making is essentially the same that a person would make for preferring a manual transmission car instead of automatic. But we all know that 90% of people just want the car to go when the right pedal is pressed down, they don't really care about their ability to tell the car exactly what to do.
Personally I think the average person would be very excited to have a feature that can recall things they were working on or looking at that they forgot to save. I don't know how many times I've had to tell the non-tech inclined "sorry you didn't save it, it's gone."
As far as capturing sensitive information, I'm not really sure it's all that much worse than anything else the non-technical people do. I think at all these attack vectors are no worse than someone convincing you to install conventional malware. Both require you to elevate permissions and dismiss strong warnings.
