Side note,
You indirectly hit the nail right on the head. "Google can't and choose which court orders it acts on depending on the quality of that court. It's all or nothing." What is to stop a Iranian, Russian, Chinese, or any other country's court for asking for the keys to the backdoor? Google can't comply with every country's laws/requirements. So, no one gets the keys. Technically, Google could try making keys for every device, but then there is a database that can be hacked. Google could do it per country, but then what happens when someone travels between countries.
And then there is Cloud data, what if the device is in country X, with an account based in country Y and with data storied in country Z, by a company based in country A? Who's law applies?
