Microsoft controls the whole operating system, they can already do whatever they want with your data. They could be sending screenshots back to the mother ship already.
I can understand why people may not trust them but they already have the keys to the kingdom. This new feature isn't any more or less private than Windows already is.

Whether or not this invasion of privacy is cause for concern depends on your level of trust. But it is still a privacy issue.
