ELI5: Is it end-to-end encryption if the servers (e.g. WhatsApp) generate the encryption keys?

I mean, sure: it is end-to-end encryption nonetheless.

But if the server (or whatever computer) creates the keys in the first place, couldn't they be accessible from that very computer (thereby putting all encrypted data at risk)?

ELI14 or 15, I do know my IT stuff a little.

It's not end-to-end if the servers generate the keys.

With WhatsApp the servers don't generate the keys.  You and the receiver do.  That's the whole point of specifying that it's end-to-end encryption.
