Another reason was the US and UK had got the German OKW-Chi work on from the Target Intelligence Committee teams (TICOM) on the Russian Fish system.
A Soviet military teleprinter that used packet switching was then open to the US and UK in 1945 thanks to German efforts during ww2.
Later efforts by German teams in the UK helped with the Caviar project but only got Soviet administration messages.
All that German material given to the UK in 1945 by the Germans was still been sorted by the UK into the early 1950's.
Russia has its own systems and was under constant decryption efforts by Germany in ww2 and then UK and German staff after ww2.
The same methods just kept on giving the US and UK what they needed for years and they where not going to tell the world about how easy it was or the ww2 german staff that where helping in mid 1945.
Think of it as a Operation Paperclip for ww2 German intelligence assets that kept on working in 1945 :)
