I really think this is the wrong attitude and the result of boiling frogs. Having access to data on our devices should be a given. To me it makes me think of the non-touch iPods of yesteryear. Music files were obfuscated on the device by shoving into human-unfriendly folders and filenames. The argument that this was to avoid music piracy is laughable since we originally had DRM'd music for downloads. The database was proprietary and undocumented which meant the only real way to get music on the device was through iTunes. It also meant that unless your ID3 tags were really good and you went through the process to copy all the tracks off and rename them, your music was locked to your device.
Even then, at least you _had_ a way of getting your music back. I'm not going to say E2EE isn't good or that the security protocols put into place for modern OS's isn't important, but imo it's eroding ownership of data and killing third party businesses. Everything has to be done through a web API now, which means your data has to exist in the cloud. This isn't good.
