Legislation is much easier to enforce on centralized services than decentralized ones.
As long as encrypted peer-to-peer communication exists on an open internet, there will be no way for a 3rd party to intercept this traffic, or for any government to control it. They can ban the use of specific software, but new software will always be written.

And enforcement doesn't need to be 100% effective to make a difference. Fairly simple measures are sufficient to deter and/or block well over 90% of the populace and force them into controlled channels, as China demonstrates.
