I work in healthcare IT. EHR clients and other necessary software that hold PHI (protected/private health information) run only on Windows. Recall seems to require a PC with a discrete 40 TOPs NPU so none of the current workstations. There is an opt-out already so I'm sure, though not positive, it can be turned off with a group policy.
I, optimistically, think this is a moot point for businesses. The goal is to get consumer data to sell not lose business purchases.
Cynically, I think it will be forced on consumers with, eventually, no option to turn it off.
OpenEMR doesn't. I also do some work in healthcare too for a small office. (Though admittedly not a lot at all). Paying a license (for support) to an opensource works for my client. It's opensource so I know it's not going away... and openemr is completely browser based as far as client goes.
Getting locked into these bullshit softwares is half the battle though when it comes to corporate shenanigans.
Edit:
I dunno... Some of this shit is leaking into the business/server side. More and more stuff appears that nobody asked for.
