It doesn't seem reasonable to blame them for an arbitrary potential future when they're currently doing the right thing.

No, however the description of the plugin should make it clear data will be uploaded to a third party server for recognition so the user can make a choice about that.

It more or less does.

I don't find that clear at all. And this is also important to non-developers.

Also, for nearly all documents I ever need to scan, if they're important enough to require scanning, they're important enough that a third party should have nothing to do with them.

The majority of exceptions to the above being, ironically, documents without text, sketches, doodles, etc.
