Exactly. Would the Internet be way easier to design and use if we could assume that everybody is a good actor? Heck yeah! It'd be great. There are some really useful things you can do when you're allowed to intercept the conversations between two people. Caching, debugging, fixing spelling errors, etc. But we can't assume that the folks between me and you are good, and sharing anything at all with them is a bad idea. Does that mean a whole bunch of really useful techniques are harder or straight up impossible now? Yes, absolutely, and we should plan ahead and make sure to come up with ways to debug issues like this. But stepping back on security and privacy because it makes it harder to benevolently spy? Screw that noise.
