I agree it is more like e2teee, but I think there is really no alternative beyond TEE + anonymization. Privacy people want it locally, but it is 5 to 10 years away (or never, if the current economics works, there is no need to reverse the trend).
There's FHE, but that's probably an even more difficult technical challenge than doing everything locally
FHE is impossible. You cannot expect to compete on 100x more cost for the same service you provide (and there is no design for accelerated hardware (Tensor Core) on FHE).
FHE would be ideal. Relevant conversation from 6 months ago:

Think PCs in 5y to 10y that can run SoTA multi-modal LLMs (cf Mac Pro) will cost as much as cars do, and I reckon folks will buy it.
ISTM that most people would rather give away their privacy than pay even a single cent for most things.
