Matching means suspect. It doesn't have to be a true match.

It could be worse. But end to end means the middle has no access. Not some access.

And remember the E2EE is pure speculation at this point.

As long as your using an iPhone, apples got access. To be E2E, the screen still needs to be showing the encrypted values, not the real image

No that is literally not the definition of end to end encryption.

End to end encryption means that only the final recipients of data can see what the data is. In this case, it's the user.
