Yes, it is. Easily. It's that invasive.
It will record your porn if you use a functional browser instead of edge. It will record your nudes if you ever see them on your PC. And on top of that, it will also record all sorts of other sensitive personal information that can be used for identity theft if you just do basic shit like using banking websites. Looking at your passwords at some point in your life is also perfectly normal behavior, and it will expose that too.
This is more akin to you taking a picture of your own junk in a public bathroom stall. Or using face unlock while you're on the toilet.
Obviously nobody's gonna win in an internet argument but you should really take a look at the extremes with which you view this stuff. /Serious.
Only if your phone is moving that picture to a place that's very easy for anyone who wants to get.
The user is not doing shit. The operating system is massively compromising their expectation of privacy by packaging all their sensitive activity into an easy to grab and go bundle.
Viewing actual extreme behavior as extreme is how it's supposed to work. This is obscenely invasive.
