Well, no, you can't ask the Valorant anticheat what the computer's user was doing three days ago. They could be risking a massive lawsuit by also monitoring what you do, but it's reasonable to assume they don't, and even if they could they would have the data, not your boss or your partner.
But it's interesting to see the framing shift from "can't trust corporations to do what they say they're doing" to "normal users have no use for privacy anyway". That's the fascinating part for me, the places where PR and branding change the framing. The features themselves are whatever. I don't like them, personally, but we'll see where it goes. It's the messaging that fascinates me.
