Encryption should be back doored so every hacker-wannabe and their dog can sell private information on the dark web, and hold data for ransom even more than they already do, you say? I decline, thank you very much.

As to "If you have nothing to hide", everyone has something that's nobody's damn business to know, and weakening encryption is not a solution. It's just a can of worms nobody really wants opened, even though many people ignorant of the consequences think they do.
