I couldn’t think of one single scenario where this might be remotely handy.

I literally gave you one - HDR toggling. You disregarded it because you didn't want there to be any reasons.

Here's another - you could ask copilot to check your emails for an invite to a party that you are expecting, add the party to your calendar, create an item on your to-do list to get a present, and forward the invite to your partner.

How's that? Is that not something that could be useful?

  1. Why should i toggle hdr off?
  2. Takes a second to do with a mouse or keyboard

As to the other example: Sure, useful. To people who just don't care about privacy (Which is kinda weird from someone with the nick "freedomadvocate"). As MS should not have access to my mails, my calender or my to-do-list. And especially not my contacts :-) Besides you're just assuming one would exclusively use MS-products to do that. Try that shit with non-ms-products and it becomes just a waste of time.

But for people unable to do so "normally" or who would save tremendous amounts of time there might be a good use. But that's what i said at the start. Very niche use-case.
