If you believe "the government can compel any company to do anything", then this system is no worse than any other.
Although how do you think Linus Torvalds "manged to get away with refusing" adding backdoors? https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130919/07485524578/linus-torvalds-admits-he-was-approached-us-government-to-insert-backdoor-into-linux-did-he.shtml https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130919/07485524578/linus...

Even if someone were to compel Linus Torvalds to commit a backdoor and he would comply with that order, people across many jurisdictions would notice this immediately, rendering the backdoor worthless.
