This decision was needed because the EU was about to ban end-to-end encryption. It’s not the EU commission, but a judge that ruled. AFAIK Commission can still ignore this.

No, the ECHR is not a EU institution, it's just European.

The bad guys here are the commission and some EU member states.

As far as I remember, the commission tried to introduce the chat control nonsense but the parliament shut it down.
