I've been wondering if one of their ulterior motives is to kill work from home situations. Commercial real estate landlords are losing $850 billion a year because of remote work prevalence, and we know how much the government bends the knee for wealthy business owners. Without encrypted VPNs, no company is going to allow remote work.
But it also prevents encrypted emails, making confidential communication between companies impossible. I do not think that companies would be able to operate with their trade secrets just out in the open.
The recent EU law drafts I've seen so far have exceptions for businesses, government employees and basically everyone except the normal private person.
I guess in many countries founding something like an LLC is pretty damn cheap so I guess we'll all be businesses soon.
