The demo gif looks so weird. So you send someone an email, and (if it's not a gmail) it asks them the log into some mini gmail looking thing to view the actual message?

As in you need google in order to view any of your data?

Ah yes end (googles server) to end (also googles server) encryption. Very useful.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding but this genuinely seems completely pointless at best. It's middleman to that same middleman encryption solving the last mile delivery problem by not sending the actual message.
I assume the point here is to check a box in some big corporate's matrix of required features before they'll move to Google Workspace. Nobody really cares whether its really end to end, they just need some to say the magic letters E2E and they can tick it.
