I don't necessarily think that you're wrong - but it's a moot point since the consequences are the same.

For example, I don't think James Comey was acting with malicious intent calling for universal crypto back-doors; I do however think that he was dangerously naïve and deeply wrong-headed.

No back-door will ever remain unbreached and by baking vulnerabilities into the specification you're paving the way for malicious manufacturers to exfiltrate your network's communications as they see fit.

There's a reason that 5G rollouts have national security implications and they could've been largely avoided (metadata aside).
