I find a lot of people really do not even understand end-to-end encryption. It's okay not to understand it as a concept because infosec isn't in everyone's wheelhouse. I am most annoyed at the politicians that pretend to know. Information security is not easy. End-to-end security is all well and good, but what's the use of encryption if the metadata can still be deciphered, doxxed, and used potentially against somebody.
Agreed, and I'm also annoyed at so many people who do understand end-to-end encryption immediately accept that if an app uses it, it's automatically secure and safe. The entity implementing it, and how they do it, also matters.
