It's probably:
1) they'd rather encryption didn't become widespread on the service because they want to spy on users (users encrypting things themselves is still fine, they say)
2) they don't want support calls from people who've lost really important files because your crappy app lost their key, and/or because the user lost it, because typical users cannot and never will be able to handle manual key management, but if you encourage them to do it they might try.
- cwilkes 10y agoI also wonder if it could also be that if Amazon is subpoenaed for your files and they hand over an encrypted binary the government will then ask for it to be unencrypted. When Amazon says they can't do it they will ask for the source code or a vulnerability for the software that encrypted it. That will get bounced to the developer. Does Amazon want to get into that business of selling out the people making software for them?
