Memory encryption can help mitigate much lower level attacks such as row hammer, these attacks get patched even average consumer devices.

No benefit for 99%? people said the same about FDE. Just as there is not a good enough excuse to not validate integrity and availability of data, it is not for confidentiality when its very much technically possible to do so.

So can scrambling - which is not encryption.
Great, so they just need to create and maintain a completely different method just for consumer instead of the already existing prosumer encryption without the added benefit of security and most likely even performance reduction because encryption has hardware acceleration.
