> I don't understand why people have such a big privacy issue with this. It all happens on your device.

It's not hard to imagine situations where this complete and total information package can be exfiltrated or otherwise abused. Roommates, stalkers, one night stands, domestic govt, foreign govt, domestic hackers, foreign hackers, computer repair techs, employers (seizing a personal device), etc, etc etc.

There is no scenario in a free society where this should be allowed or tolerated.

yes there is, I think you're lacking imagination. such a vision does require re-imagining a lot of what society is, and even of how we undertand ourselves relative to our many groups and super-groups which we belong to

the only place where such a thing leads is authoritarianism.

What else should not be allowed because of it possibly being abused?

Should I not be allowed to use a password manager because it would be problematic if my roommate or one night stand copied it?

This isn't fundamentally different to any other feature.

You are free to use or not a password manager. What ms is doing is shoving things by force. It's not an opt in feature, their OS is becoming something ugly fast
