E2EE in WhatsApp is here because Meta does not care about the content of your messages. Analyzing natural language is hard anyway, whereas determining who you are, what you aspire to, and how to trick you into thinking your life won't be whole until you buy $PRODUCT is scandalously easy given your (weighted) relational graph.

"Marketing" is why.
