Everyone has something to hide -- it is a matter of how much and from who(m). In our world of Big Data/surveillance capitalism, I don't see how you could even argue against stronger privacy rights...
I have SSH on my servers for the same reason I have locks on my house. Not because I have stuff to hide, but because having stuff stolen costs me money, and SSH and locks are an inexpensive way of preventing stuff of mine from being stolen
1. the state of being apart from other people or concealed from their view; solitude; seclusion
2. the state of being free from unwanted or undue intrusion or disturbance in one's private life or affairs; freedom to be let alone
I don't draw a distinction between "your house" and "your data." Whatever your rational for having those barriers - that's your decision, right? Just because other people enjoy living on communes doesn't make it any less absurd for a country to outlaw locks on doors (or e2e chat apps...). Taken even further, people tend to do horrific things (sexual &/or domestic abuse) behind locked doors. But plenty of other people, like you & me, tend to sleep better behind them.

Do you use HTTPS? SSH? A password manager?

Sounds an awful lot like privacy:
1. the state of being apart from other people or concealed from their view; solitude; seclusion
2. the state of being free from unwanted or undue intrusion or disturbance in one's private life or affairs; freedom to be let alone
