Why should MS do that? I guess if they saw a market value for it, they could. Like how Defender came to be after 20 years of third party anti-virus.

They certainly developed the tech for it - I remember reading about some of their research circa 2000 making the OS and everything on it a database. They've kind of been working that direction for years (see MyLifeBits).

I suppose they could provide an add-on tool for this, but I suspect there's a political barrier (imagine the blowback of MS providing such a tool).
