What else is there to say?

Any such verification service will either sell your data or lose it. Will not may.

Imagine a world where the “AI” peddlers would be forced to make realistic claims about their “product” instead of the American advertising style lies were being spammed with everywhere…

You see the desktop picture when you walk up to the Mac to unlock it, or immediately after you lock it before walking away. Or momentarily when you use Exposé or move windows out of the way to access files on the desktop.

Or if you are running multiple monitors, it’s common to clear out a side monitor or half of one for a new window/different app.

And I have more windows open than a Microsoft test lab.

It did not turn out fine. Fortunately no one took it seriously, and at least seniors still have an intuitive model of how the hardware works in their head. You don't have to "see" the whole assembly language when writing high level code, just know enough about how it goes at lower levels that you don't shoot yourself in the foot.

When that's missing, due to lack of knowledge or perhaps time constraints, you end up on accidentally quadratic or they name a CVE after you.

The easiest way to watch a movie in the player of my choice - even if i have legal access to it because it's in my netflix subscription - is to download it off piratebay.

Add to that Netflix's shitty discovery system, I'm pretty sure I watched some downloaded movies in spite of actually having legal access to them.

Oh, remember when PC games used to come on disks? For the Netflix example I can only guess, but I'm 100% sure I downloaded isos for games I had actually bought and had the physical disc... somewhere.

especially considering most modern movie/tv piracy is free streaming websites - shitty quality and awkward player controls, definitely no choice of player here

By now they lost any trace of goodwill they ever had and are guilty until proven innocent.

I can imagine Samsung asking for the user's age every time you want to grab a snack and refusing to unlock the door otherwise.

Or perhaps... they could add a camera to the fridge and send a stream 24/7 to their servers so they can identify the age of whoever opens the door. For complying with the laws of California, honestly!
