How does FHE lead to people getting access to more computation?

(as far as I understand) it makes trustless compute farms possible im theory

Well, more people can buy time on an FHE computer and compute whatever they want on it, like a program that can find even more dangerous viruses, and no one will be able to detect what they are doing because their computations are encrypted. In other words, the data that could give them away is transformed under a homomorphism that disguises that data with encryption so that the nature of the computations is not evident.
