Whatever argument you make for why privacy will collapse if end-to-end encryption is banned has to address the fact that people use Gmail, Slack, Telegram, Facebook, SMS, banks, the IRS and many other non-e2e-encrypted services, and also that privacy collapsed a while ago.
I'm a fan of public health analogies but this one is missing the small, but genuine harm (E2E makes it difficult to eavesdrop on people, and they can be very bad people). Fluoridation was not a trade-off in the way E2E is
