Ability to communicate privately is necessary for that "helping the victim out". The easier it is for abuser to control devices of abused, the harder it is to get out. And the harder it is to stay hidden after being out.

The default being "easy to spy and control someone else's devices" makes abuse easy and escape (both mental and physical) hard.

That helping and escaping and staying away is not something that happens without communication and privacy.
