1. Browsing history doesn't show what the user is doing on the page. There is a big difference between logging "user visited his e-banking app", and logging his actual credentials as they are entered.

2. Browsing history watches one app. Screenshots watch everything across the entire OS.

Not just credentials - account balances, account numbers, etc. There's a big difference between your browser history recording that you opened your bank or healthcare provider's web site and Recall recording everything that appeared on the screen while you did.

People might use Incognito mode to browse porn, but I imagine it's a lot less common when looking at other sensitive sites.
