The short answer: "None of your god damn business", which is the point.
The only counterpoint to end-to-end is "we want to be able to access your private conversations", which isn't really a counterpoint unless you agree with spying on citizens and would like to also allow the government to come into your house and place listening devices as they please, listen to your phone calls whenever they please, open up your mail whenever they please, so on. Hell, actually require you to wear a device at all times so all conversations can be recorded. No, just no.

The government could similarly demand backdoors into people's private devices, so people can be listened to and their usage of the device recorded, in case they might be up to no good. I see essentially no moral difference between banning E2EE and banning security of devices. If you have no right to communicate secretly with a person, why should you have any right to communicate secretly with a possession?
