IMO, I2P and Tor were never a solution to this, they are anonymization networks, which adds their own requirement on how to use it, and most people don't need anonymization. These protocols are slow and complex, thus not user friendly.

Maybe aiming a lower tier of security (like what TLS offers) is good enough for regular user. For example, Matrix or Jami.

But the problem with Matrix and Jami is that these are still too complex for regular user. No user, no motivation for the developer and it's a downward spiral from there.
