Because, sometimes it is said that fully homomorphic encryption means that you don't have to trust the server anymore. And as you pointed out, that is not true. You have to trust a server less.

These are orthogonal definitions of trust, though.

Trusting the server to perform the operation I asked it to is an entirely different domain than trusting the server with the knowing the input and output data of the operation.

This is the key point that the original commenter was trying to elucidate.

Well put.

I've been following FHE casually for a while now and I definitely thought it meant I didn't have to trust the server anymore.
