They're just defending their (enormous) market share. I don't expect they are doing it from the goodness of their heart.

I'm not that cynical. They could just drop E2EE from their product and call it a day. It wouldn't make much of a difference for them.

i think to expect a multi-billion dollar organisation to make consequential decisions like this based on anything other than cold calculation is naive at best and enormously stupid at the very worst.
