I’m not sure why aside from the fact that end-to-end encryption should make it harder (impossible in theory) for them to read your messages. They still have access to your contacts book, which is kinda scary since some people I know keep Social Security numbers in their contacts.

They don't have to be able to read your messages server-side to pick out keywords client-side and send those unencrypted. It would still be truthful: all messages are encrypted e2e, but the app on your device parses decrypted messages to "deliver relevant ads". Also: >kinda scary since some people I know keep Social Security numbers in their contacts. That is absolutely terrifying.
