Hi-res music isn't important, but E2EE is.
It's fine that very few people care Apple is very good at attracting customers without it anyway, so it's not the classical situation where we, tech people should feel sorry that non-tech people "just don't get it" and don't use Apple services.
And lastly, if indeed no customers care, then that speaks for even bigger respect toward the individuals working at Apple who pushed for this and made it happen. (But I think Apple believes this will be a good business decision, not altruism.)
