Encryption does not work unless everything is encrypted, even at rest.

There are no secret keys that only the "correct" people can use, there are no impenetrable vaults where hard drives live and only the "correct" people have access to. It is either encrypted, 24/7/365, in all the forms it lives in, or it is not encrypted.

Banning E2E is the first step on banning encryption entirely. There is no other sane way to conceptualize this.
