You should have read your link before typing all this. Their E2EE is a bit similar to OMEMO and Signal in the sense that one device is really like one contact, and one chat between two people is really like a group chat with many members associated with two identities. So they are adding another optional endpoint where you send the message to get that summary.
Of course if you do send it, it's readable by them no matter what they say.
Of course proprietary encryption (I'd argue that even proprietary code) can't be trusted to do what declared.
But there is no logical contradiction whatsoever between their claim of having E2EE and this functionality.
Wow! Thanks for this response. That makes a lot of sense as to how it’s done.
