Adding backdoors would lead to the Huaweization of American tech companies -- Sales of US tech products outside of the US would drop drastically. And the non-stupid bad actors (however small that subset is) would use something open-source, or perhaps sourced from their non-US allies.

I'm curious how much it's affected Australia since they passed a similar, though incredibly weak law.

Can the Australian law be invoked in such a way to make a backdoor for government eyes in a publicly and widely distributed software? If so, then it's some big brother shit.
