You can enable device wipe after 10 wrong passcodes, and E2EE gives Apple pretty broad cover to deny government requests to your data. The appeal to that for me

You can enable device wipe after 10 wrong passcodes, and E2EE gives Apple pretty broad cover to deny government requests to your data. The appeal to that for me isn't US government (who have easy access to everything else about you), but other governments around the world with worse human rights records. It's terrifying that while traveling a policeman could make up something and get details about your home life they aren't entitled to.
