There are many use cases where compromise through code-interdiction after warrant is a perfectly acceptable risk. Also considering what it replaces may further increase the weight of privacy gain. Absolutism is definitely not the way to go, and looking at the state of the tech community (eg. npm, apt, pip, pacman, check that sha256 sum) we left the design-it-right-first a long time ago. A valid argument, though I wouldn't defend it to the death, is that we need to work slowly back toward more secure behaviors rather than chasing absolutely secure technologies. I think send.firefox is a step back from dropbox for some.
