Why on Earth would you trust Zoom, a company which has repeatedly done extremely sketchy things, to implement their closed-source proprietary platform in this specific way?

It would be easier to just lie about the encryption being end-to-end.

Personally, I will never use Zoom for anything, a decision I came to when my OS vendor (Apple) pushed a security update for my OS to get rid of Zoom.

I wasn't really trying to comment on their overall trustworthiness - I just don't think you have to stretch very far to imagine how a conversation between ≥1 Zoom employee who genuinely does care about privacy ("our users are demanding E2EE") and law enforcement agencies ("we demand or are entitled to certain powers") might have resulted in the offering being announced today.
