Encryption _options_ are definitely *required*.
You don't want to turn it on, fine, don't. Some will ship that way.
Some other user does, fine, they will. Some will ship that way.

And if people are that dense as to their need and use case,
consider all the millions of everyday completely legal non
journo, innocent, camera users who do stuff like...

use it as a photocopier / scanner / fax for their bank docs etc
take pics / vids of their families / vacations / drunk aunt donna
their contacts and message streams
their bedroom escapades
whatever

... and are even just slightly aware of privacy, or even if not who
would simply just freak out and think about it for years if something
as simple as lose / stolen their camera / sdcard / phone.

For people to sit here and argue that strong crypto *options* aren't
useful... these people need to [have their heads] be examined.
