The NSA lacked legal authority to do this bulk collection prior to the Snowden leaks, and yet that didn't stop them from collecting. Why would I believe that their lack of legal authority today would stop them?

Because it's not possible for them to get the same easy access anymore?

It was certainly easy in a world where everything wasn't encrypted, that's not the case anymore.
