This doesn't make sense. Screen recording is trivial. Why go to this much trouble? I don't buy the "Trojan Horse" argument in this case.

Occam's Razor, folks.

Recording is trivial.

monitoring at scale, in real time? getting a concise "what did bob do on his computer all day" those are hard.

Well yeah, but doing it by default and saving the results in a searchable way for each and every one of your users is not.

Screen recording is Data.

Being able to perform text-search queries on those is Information.

Having pie charts of "what % of the time did my minions spend on work-related tasks today?" is Knowledge.

What's lacking IMHO, is the Wisdom to ask "just because you can build this technology, should you?"
