Wow.. so, with a simple declaration, they can force a product
that cannot necessarily decrypt a user's messages to be
reengineered so that it does?  That's ridiculous.

At the very least, there are development costs involved to
"break" E2EE, and the implementation. Is the EU going to be
paying for those changes?

Federated/distributed systems such as Session, Simplex, and
Briar, (and even PGP-mail where each end user has control of
their keys) ought to be immune to the Chat Control proposal.
