      Probably the government is the one telling them to do it, the governments I should say. By probably I mean absolutely although they will be given their own enticements for doing such things.

          Doesn’t it? You get the option to use it knowing its got extra security against hackers, but no security against Microsoft or state actors who can demand the keys.

            When you live in a police/surveillance state, you’re a fool to fear criminals more than the government.
