Just because it's in your operating system rather than your apps doesn't mean it's any less of a backdoor.

Right, is a different back door, but at least it's not broken crypto. Not that I'm for compromised endpoints either.

Building your crypto system with an ability to spit out the keys on demand to any podunk FBI Director or podunk US President, not to mention any podunk sheriff, means you have built broken crypto.
