If you run your own XMPP server (can be done dirt cheap now), you don't really need e2ee and all the problems that come bundled with it.
As for access, i assume there are server farms on quite a few countries looking for all kinds of patterns in chats. Until E2E encryption becomes extensively spread, it 's a joke to pretend there 's some kind of user privacy
