That's an incredibly optimistic take on this problem. Google, Microsoft, EFF, et al need to win every single battle or they lose the whole war.
The DOJ just needs to find one sympathetic test case, or one sufficiently horrible incident to get the laws changed. Like the Patriot Act in the US, or the new French surveillance law that passed after the Bataclan attacks.
