Curious to see how they will use it. I don‘t see an immediate way for FIDO/WebAuthN to help in an end-to-end encryption scenario.

I don’t think this is directly related to the E2EE announcement, rather it is an option to replace the current MFA method of receiving codes on your Apple devices.

That makes sense, thank you. It's also mentioned under the corresponding heading on the press release.
