For context, this is the malware which Saudi Arabia used to gather the conversations with journalist and activist Jamal Khashoggi that led them to decide to brutally murder and dismember him in their embassy. If there was ever any moral justification for keeping the users who'd been compromised in the dark, I reckon it died with him.

Or maybe they aren’t technically minded enough. They ask for what seems like a reasonable request - let us read terrorists’ emails if we have a warrant, without affecting everyone else. Anyone non-technical would probably vote for this no problem. They don’t understand it’s just not possible without creating some impossible to keep secret master key. I guess politicians are used to giving other people problems and just expecting them to figure it out.
