Not to be overly pedantic, but I don't think this is true on a technical level? Any "private cloud" worth its salt would presumably use its own E2E encryption, with keys known only to the owner. The government could force the private cloud vendor to build a back door, but that's kicking things up a notch. The vendor could also decide to build a back door on their own, I suppose... which is another reason people in this market tend to want open source.
