I think you have a very interesting point I never thought about. And after thinking it for a while, I believe that in the case of digital communications and their nature, secrecy ensures privacy.
If there is a line of people, with you at one end and me in the other end, and I need to send a message to you in private, and the only way I have to do it is by communicating this message along the line of people... I would have to come with some encoding method so nobody but you and me can understand this message.

That obviously strengthen the chances of the messages staying private, but we had privacy long before encryption. Phone calls could not be listened to and letters could not be opened, without proper authorization. Obviously someone did, but that someone was breaking the law. You have the right to privacy in your own house, of course someone could look inside from a window, but if that's an habit, that someone is breaking the law. etc. etc.
