The problem with saying that the whole thing is bullshit because encryption is just math is that it ignores that laws really would prevent companies from putting encryption (useful forms of it anyway) on phones. Yes, elite hackers (and perhaps terrorists, but they are not usually very bright people) could encrypt their phones anyway, but the vast majority of non-technological people wouldn't if it was difficult and/or involved breaking laws.
