legit scenario where such a tool is actually needed

The "legit" reason has nothing to do with user experience and everything to do with Microsoft & their 874,289,532 advertising partners.

Regardless of the marketing spin they're putting on it now - Recall will be used for mass data collection and training MS's LLM. They'll wait for enough adoption of Win11 & Recall before putting the "release of information" clause into their T&Cs.

Recall isn't for users. It's for Microsoft.
