> End-to-end encryption is useless without endpoint security
No, not in a practical sense. Securing data in transit and at rest drgrades the value of breaking endpoint security, and it degrades the value of massive internet snooping.
Breaking endpoint security, one machine at a time, and exfiltrating data, is vastly riskier than hoovering it up from the backbone. It is more likely to be noticed, and the exfiltration traced. It doesn't scale well.
Endpoint security sucks now, but if people, governments, and enterprises find out data being exfiltrated from their machines, the demand for secure hardware will increase.
