Then they would definitely advertise it by attacking the company so that the whole world would know about their secret backdoor. Very smart, indeed!

Physical access is easier to get than remote access when you have a baton and the intelligence of a cop.
FSB/GRU are more than just thugs with batons, they are professionals who could easily slip in to a building at night and access computers without anyone knowing. Basically the Russian CIA.
GRU have been severely embarrassed quite a few times in the last few years. It does seem that they're much closer to thugs with batons.
Just thinking about it would have a chilling effect which to the authorities may be better than actual access.
