They seem to imply otherwise on this page:

EDIT: On a second reading it looks like there's a difference between the "on server" encrypted data and the "end to end" encrypted data. Backups are covered under the former but not the latter. Shame.

I agree. I am just trying to provide evidence of Apple being misleading about this issue.

It doesn't seem misleading at all, though. The entire support article is about what kind of data they can and cannot access.

It's hard to communicate this stuff TBH

The fact people don't appreciate what Snowden leaked and infosec in general is as much a result of that as it is negligence or humans being 'bad'.
