Why would it be a quid pro quo? A government-hackable system allows intelligence services to 'keep the country safe' by helping data gathering (remember the arguments put forth during the iPhone/FBI kerfuffle). So governments support them through the means at their disposal, funding, govt contracts, State dept deals etc. The company gains because they shift product. Win-win.
I'm not sure what the CIA/NSA would gain by explaining their tactics, I don't understand why they would ever do that. IMO it is a non-sequitor to my comment.
