Devils advocate/utopia hypothetical-
In a vacuum, where you could be personally guaranteed this data remains on device and you the user had complete control and ownership, I can see how this could be useful.
But I would never allow a third party that sort of access, full stop
I mean sure but if you get hacked (which will eventually happen to someone if this is rolled out) just having the information stored in the first place becomes a risk. So I think it is better to not have it in the first place.

With this attitude there would be no progress ever.
I guess my question is progress towards what? I mean no one's gonna stop you its your own computer do what you want.
For me though it just isn't worth the risk.
