I would guess unless someone actually agrees to help the NSA they cannot do much to defeat real E2E encryption schemes used in things like Wire/Telegram/Signal/Matrix/Tox - and with some of them that are open source such schemes to help the NSA will be very difficult. I don't think this quite the same as what UAE allegedly did with ToTok.
