In the last few years phones and apps have been touting themselves as better than other phones/services because their messaging has end-to-end encryption, or some other variant of secure messaging. Why do we care?

Think of end to end encryption like you putting a letter into an envelope. You then give it to someone to send to another person.
It stops people from seeing the message before it is encrypted because u don’t know if the person who us sending the letter is a bad actor.
U are not reliant on someone acting in good faith.
