Yeah I work for a major company in healthcare and they don't allow Windows 11 for several reasons.

But also outside of the healthcare data issue, there's the legal issue of retaining data. Our company doesn't allow us to retain emails for more than 2 years and there are lots of other retention policies, and software to enforce them, that don't require keeping data, but instead require deleting it. This is a common trend in major corporations right now. You can't have data hacked or subpoenaed in a court case if it doesn't exist. Recall is great for micromanagement of employees, but bad for just about all other parts of a company. I don't get who is behind this and who they think they're appeasing with it.
