There will never be a consumer product that takes off purely for political reasons—like “being censorship resistant” or “decentralizing banking” Think of consumers as lizard brains: they mindlessly tap on rectangles on a screen for basic needs—like making money or finding a date- it's true that MPC, tFHE, and TEEs let you build private applications that aren't otherwise possible with just ZK however, the strength of the privacy is much weaker. use pure ZK if possible for your use-case, e.g, for payments, transfers, voting.
