e2e is a heavily utilized must-have for any organized crime these days, and this is very frequently a wall that law enforcement hit and cannot get past.

I don't think banning encryption or something silly like that is therefore the solution, but minimizing the problem is not helpful in understanding why there's such a heavy push from all sorts governments, democratic and authoritarian alike, to "deal" with the problem. It's not always because they are Teh Evil Surveillance Statez who want to Take Your Freedom for the sake of Total Control. It's because they are faced with a serious actual real problem of criminals using a technology they barely understand and cannot get past, and so they instinctively reach for the trusty hammer they are so accustomed to using against all serious problems - the Legislative Ban.

They don't understand that using this hammer will have significant unintended consequences, but this isn't malevolence. It's fear and lack of competence.
