Yes it goes into arm-waving rant well beyond benefit of encrypt/private data.
SSH tunneling can wrap communication in another layer of encryption but so what. Distributed filesystem is not a magical privacy sauce. Proprietary OS (commercial or my home-developed POSIX compliant OS?) is bad how? While telemetry by commercial OS may be a concern it is not the same concern as me keeping my files private with encryption.
The author slips toward Richard Stallman activism about related and wide-ranging issues, which detracts from achieving engagement by average person.
