It should never have gotten to the external feedback stage because internal feedback should have been sufficient to kill the idea before it even got a name due to it being such a security and privacy risk. The fact that it didn’t is worrying from a management perspective.
Pretty straightforward systemic failure – Dev team, I would guess, assumed full disk encryption would cover it, and nobody checked the assumptions. Or to rephrase: it was fucking obviously encrypted dude.
The fact that it took people not involved with Microsoft to point out and initiate internal change should be everything anyone needs to know.
To be fair I think they mentioned a button to temporarily disable the spying. Either for a time or blacklist an entire application.
Still highly recommended people move away from windows.

Not storing this shit unencrypted was pretty fucking obvious dude.

Derp a derp
You shouldn’t need external feedback to know that putting security cameras inside bathroom stalls is completely deranged.
This is that level.
