Which effectively means the messages aren't encrypted. Cool.

That's not "probably". If they have the key they straight up have access. The key to my house can't just probably unlock the door.

They control all the endpoints/clients so even if they didnt, they could change it at any moment as the code isnt open...

seriously, that's the most convoluted wording possible for a simple statement. If they have the private keys they have the private keys and there's no need for analysis.

It also effectively means they are reading those messages.

Weird, I didn't see 'probably' once in your reply.

I mean they’re encrypted in transit. They’re just not end to end encrypted.

Yes and? Do people who use X really care about privacy. Everyone who even remotely cared already jumped ship and moved on to matrix, signal, Simplex etc.
And im not even mentioning the fact X is owned by a psychopath. But hey let's pretend they care about your privacy.

Stop using fascist things.
Stores, websites, apps, cars, hosting, operating systems, and all other providers of goods/services should be audited by you. You should then ask yourself if you want to give them your money and/or your trust.

I'm trying, but they keep forcing it into devices I already own and even with turning it off in the settings sometimes it gets turned back on during updates. At least avoiding the X/shitter bot is easy enough, but the rest are just as invasive.

Do not look at all those (proprietary) E2EE definitions to closely - you might find several that define TLS as end to end...

Out of curiosity what devices are giving you these issues? I may know of some alternatives depending.
