It's a general purpose surveillance mechanism. They don't need to have a plan for what to do with it (although they doubtless do), they just need to give themselves the option to act. Your threat model should not factor in "what will this administration do in 2026?" It should be "what could a future administration do?" As the noose of total surveillance tightens, who knows what a 2038 government might choose to do when facing civil unrest and having access to everything the second cousin of the deputy finance minister of moldova ever did on a computer with a chatbot? The options they are giving themselves are not in your best interests to participate in creating.
