Most operating systems already have a "front door" keys in the form of automatic updates certificates. Android, windows, ios, even apt get, all base their security around certificates which, if stolen, can by design lead to running code.

All the objections to end to end encryption + government access fail to mention that we already have an implicit trust in corporate certificates in the security of nearly all devices, and yet that front door was never used by hackers like everyone suggests government backdoors would be used.
