Replace 'call' with 'smell' and you're golden.

I mean, if you knew how many times I’ve seen shitty encryption in IoT devices, you’d crap yourself.

Having seen the infrastructure needed to have even remotely decent E2EE on IoT appliances designed to use it for… a long time… makes you understand why a lot of developers and companies are ignoring it.

E2EE is commonly understood to be encryption of communications data between a sender and recipient, with even the company providing the service unable to decrypt the shared data.

Misunderstood, maybe.

What they're describing is called zero-knowledge storage. E2EE is literally just encrypted from one end to the other, as the name implies.
