The canadian government was able to suspend the "rule of law" in a matter of days not even 3 months ago. Court orders are nice, but won't help you when your constitutional rights are suspended. So it makes sense that the idea of just relying on the law doesn't exactly convince some people. Though I agree that even as a huge proponent of e2ee communication that is free of backdoors, in the grand scheme of things it is not that important to the lives of most people. It's mostly a concern for us nerds and has almost no impact in real life. Especially when you consider that communication has been subject to government oversight and surveillance even in democratic, free societies forever. If anything, whats anormal and new for most "normies" is e2ee for personal communication. My mom actually found it funny/naive that I actually believed that governments just can't read some of my encrypted chats if they wanted to. She also didn't understand why such a thing would be allowed if it was possible.
