Based on who is on their governing board, I think one of the use-cases here is to preserve files you would want to pass on to your descendents. You wouldn't necessarily want to have it cryptographically secured with E2EE.
I have old 5.25" and 3.5" floppies, full of software written by my father during the course of developing his dissertation. He died several years ago.
My original plan was to take whole disk images of it and stash it in the commercial cloud, ... but I'm probably going to stash a copy on permanent.org instead. I have no idea if my descendents would care about it. However, it is a memorial that (if the foundation does what it promises to do), not something I would have to do upkeep after I die.
