None of this matters. If (when) Apple/Google choose or are forced to implement backdoors, then smart people that care about privacy will confine their communications to apps that do not have them.

Even a simple web chat app accessed via Tor browser on a mobile device would bypass nearly all of our concerns about backdoors, pen registers, etc.
