Legal systems failed often on internet topics and does so again. DMCA comes to mind. It arguably doesn't serve any constructive purpose. Some artist have been made believe they need giant content rights holders. I don't think any government could disallow end-to-end encryption at this point. I think they are careful because it could seriously undermine their authority if they fail, which they very likely would, which would lead to severe embarrassment. They could still do significant damage of course.
