The problem is probably a legality thing. In Germany for example AFAIK people need to be told they are recorded and must accept to this. So by implementing such a feature, you need to adhere to local laws, which differ from country to country and may make it way to complex and dangerous to implement.
This game is a treasure for those lines, gotta search my old screenshots 😁

To improve security of option 1 you could use a keyfile, that is either only transferred manually to devices or stored at a second cloud provider.
That's just such a great image!
