An E2E encrypted thing that later gets a special backdoor added is obviously much worse than a not E2E encrypted thing.
It's like when google suddenly decided that their on-device-only 2FA app Google Authenticator should get an opt-out unencrypted cloud backup.
It means people who don't pay a lot of attention can suddenly have much less protection than they were originally sold on.
