It's possible that you'll design a safe that the government cannot get into without destroying the contents. We say that the government can do their best to get into that safe if they have a warrant.

There is no requirement that they be able to access the content (building the safe is not illegal), but there is a procedure that lets them try under appropriate conditions. What the parent posters have been talking about is a permission structure like that where law enforcement can try their best. Doesn't force anyone to write software in a particular way.
