> Buy with Monero I bet they'd go crazy if someone accused them of this being designed for illegal activities

  That's... because it isn't? How would a dead man switch be illegal? I mean it may, hypothetically, be used to hide illegal activities, but if you go that way you go down the slippery slope and will be advocating for weakening or backdooring encryption just in case it's used for illegal activites.

    This is a perfect fit for darknet admins, being able to nuke all digital evidence when arrested has been a thing for ever. Often it works by closing the laptop. It might also be useful for whistleblowers, although I doubt that there is any advantages over strong file and disk encryption.

  It doesn't seem, to me, to be designed for illegal activities any more than, say, a car is. People commit crimes with those every day.
