AFAICS no one is trying to literally ban encryption, the headline seems very exaggerated to me.
Looking at some of the EU documents linked, I don't see any real intention to ban E2E encrypted communications - at most the documents are saying that child abusers using E2EE is a problem, or explaining various technical possibilities to try to catch them (with or without breaking E2EE).
I'll be concerned when there is an actual proposal mandating backdoors or banning encryption.
