This reminds me of how Phil Zimmermann explained the importance of PGP back in 1991:
What if everyone believed that law-abiding citizens should use postcards for their mail? If a nonconformist tried to assert his privacy by using an envelope for his mail, it would draw suspicion. Perhaps the authorities would open his mail to see what he's hiding.
Don't let the status quo get in the way of progress. Don't let corner cases justify stripping away essential liberties.
