Enabling E2E-encryption requires edit-room permission that normally comes with the ownership of the private channel.
When the user establishes a direct room with other user, he does not always get the ownership for that channel. E2E is missing in the menu for the lack of edit-room privilege.
Steps to reproduce:
Start a new direct message channel with other user
Check three dot menu in the message pane top right.
There is no E2E option to select.

Actual behavior:
When the user does not have ownership or edit-room permission on the direct channel:
When the user does have ownership or edit-room permission on the direct channel:

Current behauvior is bad because it completely prevents the use of encryption on direct channels for everybody else except for the admin accounts.
There is a global setting for admins to enable E2E for all direct channels, but since mobile clients don't support it yet, enabling it globally would make mobile clients unusable for direct communication.
