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?

It means your conversation is private.
A potential situation: a conversation (unencrypted and recorded) now is fine/legal but because the government knows now you’re trusting it will never care in the future or make a crime what you spoke about. Likely, maybe not, but why not encrypt.
Of you could be a journalist or activist in a location where that’s bad for your health.
