Google Photos whole premise is that they analyze, categorize, scan, and classify the photos for you. They find similar faces, put your photos on the Maps timeline, etc.
If you don't want Google to do that, there's no point in using Google Photos. The entire benefit disappears.

How about the ease of use and storage?

I'm sure ease of use would decrease if they introduce E2EE
here is someone who would have loved E2E for his emails (and images in the cloud):

Given the tendency of large corporations to look into our private stuff, even on personal mobile devices (Hi Apple), encryption seems to be the only remedy. That is the reason why I store my (encrypted) notes with Joplin on my own server at Hetzner and it's the reason why I only buy smartphones which offer sd-card slots, so I can expand local storage instead of relying on someone's cloud storage.
