The same thing happened to me, but I am thinking of having another go and just discouraging the use of E2EE. (The community I’m thinking of is currently on Slack, so there would be no marginal loss of privacy.) Have you considered that, or is your group already using another E2EE platform that isn’t a massive pain in the ass? I’ve yet to discover one myself.

They all use Signal, with varying degrees of dissatisfaction. I'm the only one who doesn't have a Signal account.
After all that they quickly come to realize that something simple like adding a new device is a massive pain in the ass.
It's not that they declare the whole project as forever hopeless, it's that they invested time and effort into trying it already and it turned out (for them) to be a waste.
It's just a bad taste left in the mouth. In order for them to try it again, they not only have to overcome their natural laziness/time constraints, but also the rather unpleasant memory of the last time.
