of course, nothing magically prevents the app from sending keys or decrypted content to a third party.

That's why if you're really serious about e2ee you have to install the app from source.

I wonder if for closed-source apps if governments can not just force the key collection the same way they would force decryption with centralized keys.

I like to co-opt the expression: not your keys, not your privacy.
