Encryption is not a synonym for security, there are many ways your activities can leak and ISPs can still be biased against you if there are no rules to stop them.
For instance, they can decide you’re simply transmitting too much of this data that they can’t decrypt. They can observe the times of day you perform activities and guess what that means, e.g. heavy data use in evenings might be watching streaming content. They can look at addresses and infer activity based on what is going where. And they could even install a blanket ban on any data they can’t inspect unless it’s between some approved domains like banks with deep pockets.
You can’t just be comfortable with encryption. There’s no real security without net neutrality.
