Any ideas how it might restore the backup on signing in without needing your key afterward if it's E2EE? Doesn't this call into question their E2EE claims?

Its Google's version of E2EE. The key is "trust me bro" its encrypted.

That last screenshot is the reason why I think local backups should be an option.
