I wonder what the real need for this bill is, especially when it's filthy easy to download a VPN app, and HTTPS exists?

They want to scan the content before you could send it. What I read, the proposed solution would work like a keylogger. The sent message is e2e encrypted, but you couldn't trust the device you send it with.
