It's a logical fallacy — begging the question. Law enforcement is asking for backdoors to be mandatory, inferring they are entitled to them, but this admits the opposite. Why don't we frame it the other way around — why must we deliberately weaken already E2E services?

Barr is in a long line of political law figures bemoaning the lack of compliance with wiretapping, framing their statement such that it appears they have an entitlement. But they wouldn't be making the statement if it weren't for the fact they are *not*. Why must anyone comply?

Because they can pass a law mandating the compliance. My goal is to find effective counterarguments that prevent the law from passing

You don't need to breach Gmail. You breach the transport (https), which is not a rare thing (e.g what Kazakhstan is currently doing). E2E does not have this failure mode.

What Kazakhstan is doing would not breach Gmail on Chrome

This is kind of the point too — you don't get to access the internet without their mitm certificate, so people are presented with an all-or-nothing proposition and give in. Likewise, if Chrome doesn't work with the internet, they would use a browser which was vulnerable.
