This completely erodes the point of end-to-end encryption.

You've got that backwards.

End to End encryption defeats the purpose of the "server-side" component of any government request/demand to decrypt messages/data.

Any server-side email platform that 'integrates' email encryption (that is, envelope encryption, not encrypted transports) is effectively not "end to end" because your computer is not the server, and thus it's decrypted before "the end".

If you really want your encryption, use GPG, and have the people you send to use it as well.

It's one of the few ways to ensure privacy between two people who trust each other.

What does? Fastmail never offered end to end encryption
