Hey there! That's a great question.
So, when you're just using something by yourself on your own computer, E2EE doesn't always make a huge difference. You really start to see its value when you bring in outside storage, like S3, or when you have a bunch of people using it.
Think about a company running its own app. If someone uploads sensitive files and doesn't want the system administrator or the tech team to read them, E2EE comes to the rescue. The files get scrambled before they even leave the user's device. So, even if the server is in-house, the admin only sees encrypted stuff.
It’s basically about separating who operates the infrastructure from who can actually read the data, which lets people use shared or external storage and knowing their stuff is private.
