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?

I am reading your question as “why do we care if we have privacy”. I have heard some people say they have nothing to hide, so they don’t mind if the government or general public can see their online communication. The problem with completely open communication is that in the future, the government may be more authoritarian than it is now. Any communications and data they receive is stored. In the future, you may be punished for views or political beliefs you hold now. Drunk text to a friend? Might be brought up at your next interview for the job you have always wanted.
