From what I remember iCloud is only encrypted at rest but not E2E. Apple can decrypt it anytime.

The password manager (Keychain) is the only fully encrypted part of iCloud; If you lose your devices or forget the main password, the manager will empty itself. This does not happen with any other part of iCloud.

...yes, I'm saying that I think they _can't_ get to E2EE on iCloud without moving something like this client side.
