From my understanding recall stored the screenshots it took unencrypted. Atleast encrypt the bloody data before releasing it to anyone outside of ms

It doesn't store screenshots, it stores text it gets via OCR from the screenshots in a SQLite database. Still one of the worst ideas these idiots ever had.

"Insider Preview" features are proof of concept stuff, they can add encryption before the "Public Preview" version.
