It's already been proven that not only can Apple decrypt some of your data, they are more than willing to hand it over. They are a willing tool in the government's quest to oppress society.

nope, neither of your sources says they can decrypt your content. in particular, from your first:
as for your second, that's for unencrypted iCloud backups. you have to turn Advanced Data Protection on: https://www.macworld.com/article/2606947/icloud-encryption-how-secure-is-your-data.html
note that iCloud Calendar, Contacts and Mail can't be e2e encrypted, for fundamental reasons (notifications, discovery, SMTP.) but you don't have to use those.
I will never understand why anyone trusts a corporation who has proven time and again to spy on their own users and report back to the government, even before Trump was on the scene. I guess Cypher was right, ignorance is bliss.
I don't trust corporations. I trust math, and code, and systems design. I trust AES-256, even though the NSA picked it, because 20 years of cryptography research has revealed nothing close to a break. I trust SELinux, even though NSA invented it, because hundreds of kernel devs from around the world have audited it and touch that code regularly. I trust even proprietary systems which have been extensively independently audited and reverse engineered by security researchers, though I do trust them less.
