The hard solution isn't just a little bit harder ... it's several orders of magnitude harder and more expensive. It's also highly vulnerable to simply using encryption. The easy solution works because the US companies are bound by law to cooperate. There's no reason to believe that legal pressure on these companies has failed to get the government what it wants.

I doubt that costs for such an operation would make any difference to the US government, considering how much it is spending per day on its military.
