FWIW, e2ee is a feature that mostly matters to me when I don't own the infrastructure, and my bytes are flowing over someone else's platform.
If I do own all the infra, it seems like a lot of extra effort and complexity in the application which could be farmed out to other solutions (I.e. wireguard).
That's right. My assumption is that the server is untrusted and that's why I use end-to-end encryption. This allows me to use any server, possibly even one operated by a third-party service in the future.
