Say you and your friend pass notes to each other in class, but you change the code every day so confiscated notes from the teacher on one day can't be used to decode the next day's notes. But then your friend decodes all the notes in a journal that he puts a padlock on, and leaves it in his locker. One day, the principal busts open the locker smelling something strange, and finds the journal and some weed. He breaks open the journal, and now your clever code scheme doesn't mean shit, and you're getting blamed for selling weed because the journal said something about your yard having skunks

love this. now why do we trust other tools to do proper encryption — in transit and at rest — and to store it without the provider holding a key

But it says the backups are E2E encrypted? The janitor would have to do a good bit more than break into your journal to read your notes.
