But for those you have to take into consideration how probable it is for a government-level agency to be able to break any crypto you throw at them...

This is the reason most known "privacy-unfriendly" (*cough*) are quite happy to offer full device encryption. It thwarts almost no one.

no encryption is not as safe as encryption. Simple as that.
