Cryptography and secure messaging systems are not all under US jurisdiction. If access to backdoors alone has kept multiple massive criminal activities from being executed, then surely we should see some being successfully executed by the groups not using backdoored encryption.
The fact that we don't suggests either that (1) backdoors aren't that essential to thwart them or (2) there are no such regular massive attacks.
Further, as people like the US Attorney General helps to publicize those backdoors, more criminals will choose alternative messaging systems (fewer of which are backdoored), making the US less safe.
