You can encrypt everything stored in the storage, sure.
But when you access the data it gets decrypted - apps work with unencrypted data and can do anythinng with it, for example send it to the owners of the app. Another thing is that when you encrypt data you do it though some crypto API. It's a part of the OS. So basically when you encrypt you give your raw data to the OS maker and tell him - please encrypt this. And the OS maker (Google) can deside what it will do - encrypt, or for this exact device save some of the data unencrypted somewhere on Google servers and only then encrypt.
This encryption would work against thieves and ISPs, sure, but not against OS maker and entities it collaborates with.
