So you’re saying there can be no worthwhile privacy protections as long as subpoenas and search warrants exist and it’s physically possible for someone to eavesdrop? I guess we might as well switch everything back to http.

The only worthwhile protections are those provided by mathematics. If you encrypt a message, then you can be sure not even god will read it. When a government gives you "protections" you can be sure of nothing.
