Turning on E2E encryption by default and using your chat data for commercial purposes doesn't have to be a zero sum game...
You can always extract important words from a "block" of chat messages, and feed that into your advertising engine, while keeping the exact sequence of your words and messages encrypted.
Now if the AI bots require the exact sequence of your words to do NLP processing, then yea, you're SOL until the mobile devices become powerful enough to do that processing locally on the device.

Then it helps you. The trade off seems clear to me. And ultimately I do trust Google. The US government less so, but the solution to that isn't with encryption and crippling technology, but expanding privacy rights in the 21st century. Look forward not backwards.
