That seems like it's their problem. Should have written that recovery phrase in multiple places. E2EE should be opt out for the normies who can't remember their passwords let alone write down their recovery phrases in multiple places. Like, I bet my ass most of the people don't even have a complex master password. It's some band name with their date of birth appended at the end which barely reaches 16 characters probably with the lowest entropy possible for a 16 character password.
It's a bit fascist to force people to do what you think is right, no?
It's for the good of everyone. Is data privacy a bad thing?
Data privacy is a good thing, but user awareness is far more important. People are always the weakest link when it comes to privacy & security.
I'm glad more and more people are getting educated with all the resources that we have today and I like how Apple makes it easy to turn it on when users are educated enough. But they do need to be mindful of what they’re storing, the consequences (if they forgot they password), and what does E2EE protect them from.
