The government can already do this with the ISP. I dont think government should be part of the average person's threat model.

This is what VPNs or public libraries are for.

Tell that to the people in places with governments that are a threat to the average person.

"It can't happen here" is a dangerous hubris.

On top of that, do notice that there is more than one government. What happens when Salt Typhoon comes for this stuff?

If the government can access it all too often bad actors can also access it. And all too often government and bad actors are one in the same.
