There is a cultural factor also - Tor, like most American BigTech, tries to sell us the idea of "trust the network" over any government as "governments cannot be trusted". Yes, governments cannot be trusted but what is worse is if we lose faith in democracy and give in to the idea that some corporate overlord or a foreign network will do a better job of protecting our rights. It's a ridiculous idea that only Americans seem to buy, while the rest of the world are actually enforcing the protections of their rights through democratic means (demanding regulations and legislation).

Personally for me it is about the traffic that may be routed through my computer by the Tor network - I definitely do not want child porn, drugs or terrorist related site transactions packets to even touch my computer. It maybe a rare occurrence, but I want certainty. If we could control the traffic that is allowed on our network / computer, I'd be a more willing user of Tor. (A use case example would be to allow a Tor user to create a white list of onion sites from which they would be willing to accept traffic).
