I think this is hinting towards a future where end-users will expect end-to-end encryption for everything by default. As a consumer I never want to think about who's watching me, I just want it to be impossible.

What are you talking about? Encryption doesn't protect you if the other party in the communication wants to sell you out. See also: any https website that uses google analytics or social media embeds.

  End-to-end encryption isn’t perfect, but it’s still an improvement that reduces attack surface. Prevents man-in-the-middle attacks. I think this is hinting towards a future where tech-savvy privacy-aware end users will continue to trailblaze- utilizing and evolving technology that minimizes the need to trust government and corporations. That technology includes self-hosted services, decentralized/distributed (p2p-esque) protocols and platforms, open-source encryption ciphers that feature perfect forward secrecy, and open-source hardware. >See also: any https website that uses google analytics or social media embeds. There are browser plugins for opting out of google analytics tracking. Also plugins for blocking social media and commercial/advertiser tracking. A bandaid- but better than nothing.
