What could possibly have given them such a disturbing lack of faith in "good governance"?

The mere existence of nukes (much like the existence of encryption backdoors) is certainly dangerous enough:
tl;dr: "Having any truly private means of communication is bad since terrorists, pedophiles, and the January 6th people benefit from that. Don't worry about backdoored encryption since the government is mostly good and probably won't spy on you anyway."
