It's somewhat reasonable to say that algorithmically amplified content shouldn't be encrypted end to end. But it is very weird to apply that to people's person

It's somewhat reasonable to say that algorithmically amplified content shouldn't be encrypted end to end. But it is very weird to apply that to people's personal non-shared photo libraries (as Apple proposed, and it's no clear they have cancelled those plans), messages (as some are suggesting), and even to things like iPhone backups. To this day, iCloud is your only option for internet backups for your iPhone -- and it is not encrypted end to end. The combination of monopoly control and weak encryption is not good for society. Apple should either allow for E2EE iPhone backups for those of us who know what we are doing (eg. let us generate a publickey), or allow third-party backup apps like Backblaze on the iPhone.
