Here's what I don't understand about homomorphic encryption and so struggle to trust in the very concept. If you can process encrypted data and get useful results, then a major part of the purpose of encryption is defeated, right? How am I wrong?

The result is encrypted. It's useful to the key holder, not to the party doing the computation.
