For people with memory issues, products like this can be life changing.

On a second note, imagine a world where everyone has perfect memory recall. The concept of "recording" someone is useless, as everyone around a conversation (e.g. sitting at the next table at a cafe) would be a 100% reliable witness to the conversation.

Obviously we would not fault someone for taking steps to train their memory to be better, so why fault them for using electronics to improve the limits of biology?

This describes the plot of a Black Mirror episode: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2089050 (S1 E3)

That plot goes quite a bit further.
