I believe the OP is talking about encryption for user data, not merely for transport.
Google, Amazon, &tc still store user data uninhibited and though they are often competent about security, they also often provide data to state actors as a normal course of action. The fact the a web browser communicates safely with an endpoint doesn't mean that endpoint isn't a bad apple itself. In some cases these endpoints are logging proxies to other servers and services, and though transport is again encrypted, the data is normally accessible by operators of such services.
Cloud computing has taken away the ownership of data from individuals, and that sounds like it has seeds of some kind of a revolution brewing.
