I've always suspected they didn't want E2E encryption themselves, not because of any "work with the authorities" strategy.
end to end encryption would prevent lots of monetization strategies, such as indentifying people via facial recognition and voice printing and then using this data (along with transcripts for example) to "add value".
Now the "we have identified a path forward" bit makes me wonder if they can still pull it off. Maybe it's client-side identification with out-of-band notification.
Google makes an enormous amount of money identifying people.
