After a quick research* , the conclusion I arrive at is that Moxie stretched the truth. Removing PushKit functionality does not removes the ability for apps to do E2EE messaging.
From what I understood: with PushKit, it's possible to send a signal notification to the app. The app then fetches and decrypts new messages and generates appropriate notifications locally.
This is also possible to do with regular (silent) Push Notifications. The key difference seems to be that they are low priority and might not be delivered (thus no notification will be generated), and with PushKit it would.
So AFAIK this seems to be more an UX issue.
* I might be understanding something incorrectly.
