Any dumbing down of end-to-end encryption will hand Russia and China nuclear powered hacking tools for our economy, infrastructure and digital integrity. With near peer wars ongoing, I would relegate this stuff to a noise filter. The US DoD cannot afford encryption to be dumbed down. And they seem to understand that.

These initiatives will always exist because there will always be people that do not understand what encryption is and what it provides. But lots of smart people understand the consequences would be catastrophic, and rapid. We cannot eliminate dumb politically-motivated ideas.
