I think whatsapp is rolling up encryption to avoid a new scandal later, that locally creates bad PR, not because it is a feature requested by users.

To have a good grasp of what matters to the public, remember that Apple once did a whole ad campaing over the fact that the new iPhone could copy/paste. We mocked it. And the joke is on us, cause it worked briantly. This is what people cares about, and more over, this is what people knows about.
