You are correct, I agree that I have not provided an exhaustive list of the uses of encryption, nor indeed have I included an exhaustive list of the harms that could be associated with some of those uses.  This does not detract from the rest of the post and I look forward to seeing views on the substantive points made.

The above is not accurate. Encryption mechanisms provide different services (confid, auth) that are of use for more than just user privacy. For example, I'd guess we'd all be unhappy if various bug trackers leaked plaintext.
There are many other examples of confidentiality being required for security and not only privacy.
