Those being outraged about this decision haven’t accepted yet that one can’t solve legal issues around encryption with technology - not even with open source.

Those being outraged about this decision haven’t accepted yet that one can’t solve legal issues around encryption with technology - not even with open source.
The UK for example can throw people in prison if they don’t hand over their passwords/keys.
Admitting this however would by necessity lead to admitting that citizens of the US/EU have almost zero say in how their government legislate encryption. All these countries wanted to subvert encryption for decades already and they have all the time in the world, unlimited budgets and every other possible tool in their arsenal.
