They said its technically unfeasible right now. A backdoor key is really not feasible for E2E Encryption. So, that would mean it would only become technically feasible when they ask companies to send over all encrypted packets and break the encryption themselves.
Maybe that's why they want to keep a provision for it in the law, but develop the technology to break (current) public-key encryption schemes themselves?
But then they'll always be chasing, as the world moves to post-quantum encryption and they won't be able to break it anymore. So it'll always remain technically unfeasible.
Its likely that from a political standpoint, it was easier to deem the bill as technically unfeasible now rather than kill it completely.
