Wire taps and other methods of law enforcement snooping on otherwise private conversations are routinely used to convict people of crimes. In a world of pervasive encryption this will no longer be possible. You're perfectly welcome to argue that pervasive encryption is coming whether the government wants it or not, so it might as well get used to it. You're also perfectly welcome that the benefits of pervasive encryption outweigh the costs. I might even agree with you on both points. But to deny the costs is to deny reality.
