For example:
- you may wish to protect the trust in / reputation of E2EE, and so you might gonna have an axe to grind with in-browser implementations, and thus you may feel compelled to segment this subject accordingly
- I kind of have an axe to grind with E2EE exactly because of how little it can actually guarantee to begin with, so rather than protecting the trust and reputation of E2EE, I feel drawn to correct the popular record, and spread the word about the very serious limitations of this thing, making me segment accordingly (although I do think that even beyond this, I am right to bikeshed this)
I'm speculating on your part obviously, though not on mine. I think of E2EE as a bare minimum, not something to be particularly proud of and market, and the more I learn about how we secure our devices over the years and decades, the more distraught I feel about these technological measures. It's a lot more smoke than fire.
At the same time, I could also apologize for the bikeshedding, but then I'd hope it's clear that it's not like I did it to annoy you or anything, I just have a different perspective, and find different things salient. What's a perfectly acceptable and even a justified high level categorization to you, is a bending-of-reality category error for me, and vice versa. Happens when people from arbitrarily different walks of lives from arbitrarily different points in their life cross paths. No way around it as far I'm aware, and it's not like I don't see your point either. Like yes, loading up a random website is obviously way more of a gamble than pulling up an app you may very well even manually update biweekly, no doubt about it. It's just a difference in the overarching narrative suggested that I'm hung up on.
Well then I think this is just wrong. If you do E2EE right, then you have the guarantee that no one in the middle (including the server) can read the data. It does have value, and saying "anyway cryptography is worthless because everything can be hacked" is not a productive argument IMO. Some people do rely on it, and it is important that those people understand when they can and when they cannot.
I don't really care so much about nomenclature and categorisation. I care about the fact that people who need it must understand when they can rely on it. And nitpicking on the wording is not making it clearer for them.
