TLDR:
Windows 11 v24H2 and beyond will have Recall installed on every system. Attempting to remove Recall will now break some file explorer features such as tabs.

So what happens when a win 11 PC with no NPU gets updated to the version of windows with recall and recall is installed? Does it just sit dormant like it’s deactivated because there are tons of win 11 PC that have no NPU.

I assume that’s what happens, but you know what happens when you do that!

It probably does, like Cortana after they deactivated the servers.

You couldn’t remove it for a good while, so there was a gap where it would be stuck there.
