I expect it won’t be straightforward to view the data as well, it’s not just gonna be a folder full of jpegs.

Source?

Tbf, I (and I'm a random third guy not the guy to which you're replying, for clarity's sake), also doubt it'll be a folder of jpegs...but I think it'll be fairly trivial to exploit whatever it is, and it'll take way too much storage (storage cheap now, whatever, I know I'm old but I don't use cloud and I've got other shit to spend money on than HDDs or SSDs, which I do also need as a pirate/data hoarder and don't want to waste space on).

I don't understand what use case you can have by asking Microsoft what porn you were watching at 2 am of February 19th.

Well you see I have my browser set to delete history on exit because of security so this would override that and keep the history...that I...deleted... Wait...

Lmao idfk why people would possibly want this either.
