Private networks are old and busted; zero-trust & E2EE is the new hotness. (well, if 14 years is considered new) The idea of a network as a delineation of security or trust is inherently flawed and should be considered an anti-pattern. Reliance on "private" networks merely moves attacks to the network level, making a very large target and exposing more at once. Zero trust is where the whole world should be moving: explicit authorization added at a fine-grained level to each thing each user wants to access. But people haven't been exposed to this idea yet in their day to day lives, so they can't let go of the old paradigms of firewalls and networks.
