Yes, but this is true of all standard email services. If you want end-to-end encryption then you need to have your correspondent encrypt their message with your public key before sending, as with any E2EE email.
The purpose of encrypting incoming mail is for mail that arrives unencrypted (most mail) so it does not sit in plaintext on their servers.
