My guess is that they’re doing this now so they can say, in court, that their product is more secure than the alternative. Offering similar encryption in a walled garden might not be enough to avoid antitrust scrutiny in US courtrooms. Now they can lean into to arguing that their product is walled off for security reasons.

That said, at some point more stuff will need this protection. Maybe not tomorrow, but the clock is ticking.
