If you believe in a Secure Enclave then there is no need for Fully Homomorphic Encryption anymore as all the computation can be carried securely in the SE. The question is the SE is not trustable for many people.

It’s more complicated than “do you believe in SE”. There’s a difference between using a SE for storing durable secrets (a bad idea in most implementations I’ve seen) and using a SE for provably destroying a piece of information. The former means that a break is full jackpot, the latter means that a break compromises the system for a window in time and forward secrecy can be restored with a patch.
