I think we're agreeing that the notion of encryption is subject to interpretation and you are absolutely right in pointing out that the regulator gets to decide what it means unless challenged in court.

I like the SSTV example because it's not obvious how to decode it, requiring tools to do so. The same is true for ft8 and Olivia for example.

I don't exactly know where the line is and based on my experience with this, I think that it was written like that on purpose.

I'm totally with you on that, but I think the encryption ban also was/is also actively supported by the bigger ham radio organisations. There is some open communications culture, which is fine, but it shouldn't hinder people to encrypt their traffic if they want to.
