Not advocating for Ring use but doesn’t enabling feed and storage encryption reduce/remove this problem? Enabling it seems to limit a lot of features that would be dependent upon an unencrypted feed.
Who stores the key? Do you create it or do they. If they create the key then they can keep a copy.
I trust ring encryption about as far as I can throw WhatsApp encryption.
As much as I share your position, sounds like everyone has as many questions as I do and no more answers.
Unless you're given a decryption key and you have audited the source code to understand that you're the only recipient of that decryption key. You should always assume that the vendor of such a service can decrypt your data if they wanted/have a reason to.
