Interesting. This is in contrast to a recent online article in the German c't magazine [1] where the author claims that Google would cannibalize their own business model if they offer end-to-end encryption. Apple on the other hand can afford the luxury of encrypted chats because their revenue stream is not alone based on advertising. Maybe Google now fears that users move away from Gmail and to mitigate that they provide end-to-end so that they still have access to their user's traffic pattern.
