Any use cases for encrypting over Expressroute?

I understand the basics of Expressroute being a private link from on-prem to Azure, but what would be the use cases to enable encryption on Expressroute via an Azure VPN gateway or a 3rd party gateway?

Thx

For customers such as those in financial and health industries, double encryption over both their private WANs and Azure WAN is a key compliance requirement. VPN over ExpressRoute private peering allows customers to use IPsec tunnels over their ExpressRoute private peering to satisfy this need.

You can configure a Site-to-Site VPN to a virtual network gateway over an ExpressRoute private peering using an RFC 1918 IP address. This configuration provides the following benefits:

  1. Traffic over private peering is encrypted.

  2. Point-to-site users connecting to a virtual network gateway can use ExpressRoute (via the Site-to-Site tunnel) to access on-premises resources.
