Are you sure? VPNs probably carry that torrent traffic with encryption.

Onion sites which carry the most illegal content on Earth also use encryption.

Your reasoning is aligned with banning encryption because in all cases where something is illegal they tend to use some level of encryption.

The phrase used was "The vast majority"

Consider the fact that every major website uses encryption in transit (HTTPS).

Consider how much data Netflix streams to users. Those video streams are encrypted.

I think it's fair to say that the vast majority of encryption is for protecting non-pirated and legal content.

And everything on Netflix is also available, unencrypted, on torrent.

We are very very sure. HTTPS adoption across the web is at 95%. Onion and VPN traffic are rounding errors compared to the amount of traffic on the web.
