Extremely exceptional access only, in cases where thousands of people's lives could be at stake or millions. Since we can't create a fully unbreakable software/hardware security systems anyway, if ever, companies can use technology + psychology. Unintentionally create an extremely difficult to find bug that requires extremely talented engineers and large hardware resources to break, then unintentionally share it with at most discreet way probably just verbally to very few trusted 3rd parties. And it is not officially approved by the top management or even knows about it. We don't live in a perfect world and we don't have a perfect solution. JUST COMMENTS, NOT A SUGGESTION!

And how do we determine when that's actually the case and when it's overhyped or flawed intelligence?

Exactly, so focusing on phone encryption is probably a waste of time.
