I think it’s likely that Microsoft will start turning it on by default, and resetting it with updates for people who have opted out. Much like they did with edge and Cortana, intentionally making it harder to choose not to use it.
More programs actively blocking it will make that harder, but I wonder how many will stick to their guns when pressure by Microsoft.
I suspect that Microsoft will ratchet up the pressure to force it on people as the gen AI bubble pops, an attempt to force an increase in demand for their overbuilt GPU data centers.

Ok, seriously, just use Linux. I know how it sounds, but I’d say a majority of people use a computer to use a web browser. Guess what? We browsers have always worked and been native with Linux.
Problem is, it’s not a passion for most people and they just want to buy something and get on the internet. While they exist, you can’t exactly go to Best buy and buy a new computer running Linux.
But really, if you have hardware that works well with it, it’s a dream.

No I don’t want Linux or any other OS. I perfectly know my way around with Windows and so many of my regular tasks depend on tools made for Windows. I have used Linux desktop in the past and have many friends and co-workers who use it as their main OS, but it’s just not for me.
Besides of course this recall stuff gets blown way out of proportion like every time Microsoft makes a bad move. All of my computers don’t even support recall and when they eventually do, I’ll just disable it in one of like four possible different ways.

It’s not JUST about recall, but whatever.

I will when either Nvidia supports it fully or AMD releases a GPU that can keep up in the ray tracing department.
Also, HDR support in Linux needs to get a lot better. Then and only then will I switch.

A friend of mine just installed CachyOS Desktop Edition (plasma) and I brought up the HDR calibration in windows, thinking that was something linux still didn’t have. Turns out at least some DEs (i think thats a DE thing?) do have decent HDR support now. I still want RTX features tho.

Those seem like niche things to hold on to. A 5090 should work just fine under Linux, what feature do you use that isn’t supported? Also a 9070 XT is capable of doing ray tracing. You don’t always have to have the absolute most powerful card.
I don’t have an HDR monitor so can’t say how well it works in Linux, but you can survive without HDR. Is a better lighting contrast that big of a deal?

Linux has HDR support now, and there are slightly more configuration options for it than in Windows under KDE Plasma. These are very recent developments.

I’m run Nvidia since before I started using Linux. Sometimes waking from sleep doesn’t work, other than that I have zero issues. Ymmv of course.

Funny thing is, on my laptop there’s an issue with Linux and browsers. Any video or animation, even little animations, runs at like 3fps. This makes using a browser virtually impossible.
Everything else works well, but that just doesn’t make Linux an option for me right now. I tried a variety of browsers and distros. It’s really frustrating. It’s not even a bad laptop, Lenovo Legion 5 pro RTX3060.

What GPU does your laptop use?
