Those other Apple services are not marketed over and over with the promise of end-to-end encryption. It's a major selling point of iMessage and it is a false promise when Apple deliberately collects the keys to the majority of iMessage traffic and routinely decrypts user messages (for law enforcement, we know for sure, and we can't exclude the possibility that they do it for other purposes). ADP doesn't need to be default for iMessage to be e2ee. Keychain passwords are e2ee without ADP. So is health data. Even Memoji are e2ee in backups! And I believe they can be restored even if you lose all your devices, using the same technique Google uses in their system. Apple could literally turn it on for iMessage tomorrow using the same infrastructure. Every day they are deliberately choosing not to.
