I don't encrypt them because then if I lose the encryption key or the encryption program or the encryption program won't run on my future machine, I lose it all.
Perhaps some family photos would include sexy time memories? Ideally those are password protected though or not included with general family photo storage..
It's easy to say "Encrypt everything," but how do you go about it? For folks looking for an "easy" cross-platform solution to encrypt your sensitive bits in the cloud, check out Cryptomator [^1].
Restic. If you create a restic backup it asks you for an encryption password, you enter it, co fogure the folders etc.
Sadly it has no gui (that I know of) but something like runtestic can help with automated incremental and encrypted backups, where you only want to keep the last n versions (and for example a weekly snapshot)

2) There could be private photos and videos there that you aren't aware of
3) Why not?
