A big benefit of end-to-end encryption is that it makes it impossible for the service provider to suddenly start doing silent mass surveillance of their userbase. A solution doesn't need to be 100% perfect to achieve this goal.

Somehow, nearly every article on the subject completely misses this, and instead keeps moving goalposts on reasonable endpoint security.
