For personal use I kind of agree with you but I would be very concerned about the stalking potentials. We're already seeing huge issues of women being targeted by guys making and distributing "creepshots" and now deepfake based harassment. Constant recording is both a tool to increase access to women in public places as well as to separate the user's feelings from the world there inhabiting.

I wonder if using less of memory-recall capabilities of the brain will lead to loss of other important capabilities. So, I worry if using too much tech crutches is going to be detrimental.

Shouldn't the first step be to find out if your speculation has merit before you start worrying about it?

You should look into something called "Sousveillance".

All the bad moments would be recorded too, and many of the recordings would be outside of your control.

I would choose what to play, but of course, the "outside my control" part is the problem.

Many may be unable to resist the temptation to watch things that won’t make them happier.

It's going to be awesome for amateur porn

For some definitions of awesome.
Amateur pornography already has huge issues with consent and age verification, and is also more and more being weaponised against women as revenge pornography.
The part about all that data being in control of powerful corporations, though... that's what makes me thing that I'd prefer it to fail as well.
I wish we could have this sort of tech outside of the framework of modern capitalism.
