If one chats/mails with a person using Windows, despite using secure private protocols, every message will be stored by Microsoft's Windoze Recall. Either I'm missing something but this feature seems like the most grotesque breach in online privacy/security.

What are ways to avoid this except for using obfuscated text?

To my knowledge, there isn’t. But you can ask the person to turn off recall. I’m going to be running 11 in a VM myself so /me shrugs

The code for Recall is in the code for File Manger. Recall cannot be turned off if you want Windows to load and function.

There's literally an option to turn it off

like all the privacy toggles on facebook? or the "dont upload my start menu searches to bing pretty please" group policy on windows that doesn't fucking work anymore?
