Raw LLM Responses

Encryption isn't fundamentally needed. For example you can store something physically secure as well, for example on a disk in a vault. This works well for things like nuclear codes. It's more convenient to use encryption and not bother saving to disk and taking it to a vault (and reversing that process when you need it again). Encryption makes life easier in a digital age and streamlines the process that existed in the non digital world. Facial recognition is the same way. You could brute force it with law enforcement and ID's etc. like we do today and live with the biases of humans who have those jobs, or you can make machines do it and not spend so much human time (and money compensating humans) as well as avoid those biases which have been having heavy impacts in some communities.
