Nothing assumes 100% perfection as a requirement. We might not like it but if, say, popular services had a way to satisfy warrant requests that would mean that most cases would be satisfied with a warrant even if a small percentage required something else, just as the existence of very hard to open safes doesn’t mean most criminals use them.

To be clear, I’m opposed to widespread access and would want a warrant at a minimum but honesty compels me to note that there are crimes which would be solved if someone used, say, SMS but not Signal and we should consciously accept that as the cost of not living in a surveillance state rather than pretending it’s not true.
