Aren't most of these people freelancers, and their relationship with
their buyers is rarely cosy?  In-camera encryption risks shifting even
more power from photographers to media companies.

Encryption rarely benefits device owners because one of its primary
applications is to restrict what people who happen to have physical
access to a piece of technology can do with it.  If you already own
the device, adding encryption means you lose something.
