I could have sworn apple even straight up said that was their goal?
Maybe I am just misremembering since like you I figured that was the reason they were doing it, no other reason to do something like that if it was all going too sit there unencrypted.
No, they didn't say anything like that at the time, so I was even downvoted on HN and argued with for making the suggestion. Because Apple was definitely just being evil and had no bigger picture.
