To be fair there are a large number of people that think the AMBE vocoders should be removed from the ham bands too. Personally I don't think they run afoul of the rules since the intent is not to obscure meaning.

I think encryption is a terrible idea for amateur radio not because of companies doing things (they have ample land mobile allocations), but because it would be filled with cryptoshit scams in no time at all. I know of at least one RF-based cryptocurrency already. I'd also be worried about high speed traders on the HF bands since they're already trying to get licenses in the shortwave broadcast bands as it is. Not to mention I've yet to hear of a legit use case for encryption in the amateur bands that isn't served just as well by other licensed (and licensed-by-rule) services.
