I suppose if both you and the recipient have cloud backups disabled, then Apple can no longer view your messages. But outside of that scenario, is there any advantage to iMessage using e2ee instead of just regular TLS? Edit: Apparently it's up to you whether you want your iCloud backups to use e2ee. There's an account setting: https://support.apple.com/en-us/102651 https://support.apple.com/en-us/102651. Standard protection is a sensible default for regular who aren't tech-savvy, as with e2ee they're at risk of losing all their iCloud data if they lose their key.
