You miss the point, you only encrypt an item ON their hard drive if you intend on controlling it's use and charging a subscription for it's use. There is no other reason to do it. and they say well the EULA stops it, no the company can change the EULA at will. it is not binding.

Except there's not encrypting on the hard drive, it unencrypts it so you can use it in the program. And once you get it on your machine, it's there. Also since it's a brokerage that sells other vendors' products not their own, it would be practically impossible to offer subscription services when you have products owned by multiple vendors with different percentages of payouts, bundles, etc. But these arguments have been disputed now hundreds of times; I think people are spending more time jumping to conclusions and being upset when they don't truly understand how everything, including brokerages, work.
