Because of the way that they implemented it.

I call it the "GMail Searchification Effect", that heavily focuses on "The Experience", is driven more by the UX and marketing teams rather than the technical team.

They implement the features with no real configuration, no interoperability, no local options, no way to point to another server implementation, etc. Probably no way to script it, either.

have you bothered to do any research whatsoever? there are privacy oriented config controls documented in the top hit on google: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/retrace-your-ste...

No I didn't research it, and I was speaking in general terms about these kinds of features. Plus, with the backlash against this thing, one could have safely assumed there were big issues with it as there always is.

Thanks for the links and the info, but I still believe it'll pan out in a very specific way. Time will tell I guess.

There was configuration. It was literally only local. No servers.
