Backed up for iCloud users who might not know any better, but not backed up for people who take the time to learn how to guarantee the full protection of E2E by keeping iCloud off. The fact that the full benefit is available with little effort, albeit not obvious, creates a contrast to how:
> Zoom has never built a mechanism to decrypt live meetings for lawful intercept purposes
...but they easily could. Users can't just search for how to harden the Zoom encryption to the point of lawful intercept becoming impossible and find a simple solution the way they can with Apple.
> an on-premise solution exists today for the entire meeting infrastructure
...is not practical for most.
So, eliminating the E2E badge was the right move. The fact that it was there until now is shady.
