It kind of depends on your definition of “end-to-end”. Normally, what people mean is from one communication partner (i.e. human) to the other. If you use a software to do the encrypting and decrypting, it should be open-source and verifiable. The WhatsApp client is not that. It is an attack vector and it takes in your message in unencrypted form.

I agree that lots of software calls itself e2ee, despite the ends being untrustworthy and one can definitely argue that therefore the word itself should not imply trustworthy.
But well, in this particular context, folks were using the ‘trustworthy’ definition…
