Actually, backdoors could be implemented to require a cryptographically signed warrant. Think e.g. lawful intercept on mobile network routers, US (or any other nation's) law could just add this as a requirement. You could even develop a complicated scheme to apply this to E2E crypto.
But of course skewing the RNG to be predictable, or implanting some hardware backdoor, is much easier and has the added bonus of being usable to spy not only on your own citizens, but also on other nations.
