I'm surprised how infrequently this is viewed from the monetary position. We would embargo a phone with a known back door for China's law enforcement because we tend not to trust their government. Similarly, nobody trusts ours. A law requiring unfettered US government access to US designed hardware would possibly remove us from that sector of the global economy.
