"Had Apple announced a feature like Recall, there would have been much less backlash, as Apple has done a great job building loyalty and trust with its users, prioritizing polished software experiences, and positioning privacy as a high-level concern for the company." Maybe. Apple got off their dumb crush ad pretty quickly. Something like this would be disgusting if Apple did it.

Let's just hope that Apple takes advantage of this opportunity to expand on its security message to everyone. Especially enterprise customers. Take advantage of your competitions mistakes while they'er still fresh in everyone's minds.

That may be the feeling from these people, that Apple would have no problem. But I don't think it is true, especially after looking at the settlement in both the US and Canada for the "battery gate" iPhone 6/6S thing.
Apple was doing the right thing there, throttling it if you had an old battery, so that you didn't have it shut down. But they didn't tell users, and give them a choice, at first.
And then with the backlash they did add the info, and give users a choice. Something like just weeks later.
And yet these lawsuits came through, and were eventually settled in a financial way, all likely without anyone admitting fault, and maybe saving some money by not having it go to court. I don't remember all of the final details, but IMO Apple did the right thing (since I had a 5S that was shutting down with 50 degree temps, and could have used this sort of fix before I replaced the battery). If Apple didn't have the "loyalty and trust" that time, I don't thing there would be enough good will with a feature like this either. It seems like there is enough now on Recall to start a class action lawsuit, but it needs a monetary trigger, even if it's some fuzzy math way, of a politician's history being posted and it tarnishes their name.
Ahhh, our legal system.
