Not to me. I would just assume they don't have E2E encryption and wouldn't base my calls around the idea of needing that. The claim is never worth it without an independent review and then thinking about the attack surface you actually want to shield against.
I mean, in another market, if you have ever investigated VPN providers you would see 100% conflicts of interest with affiliate marketing everywhere and the articles never acknowledge that the business of reselling internet access has inherent trust and unverifiable claims involved. A government can always tap the source with a legal order and there will always be information available to them.
For a video chat service, them merely saying E2E doesn't mean anything without a way to verify it, or host the whole stack myself and this is incompatible with being a company.
