That's not how it works at all. E2E encryption only guarantees that your message is securely delivered to the other party, not that the other party can't do as they please with it. Signal messages are still stored in plain text on the end devices. They can still be backed up to the cloud (when I used Signal, all my chats were). Hell, photos/screenshots can still be taken of the app. If you want total security, you have to trust the delivery AND the end user. Bridging doesn't really change any of that.
