My point is that 0day hoarding is absolutely inevitable. No matter how many key escrow systems you mandate. There will always be an abundance of criminals that don’t use the key escrow system (which right now is as simple as downloading an app) or who just store data locally.

Not at all, it is absolutely a risk and I don't think key escrow is a good idea. The problem I have is anyone encouraging 0day as an alternative to key escrow. That seems like protecting the ideological purity of cryptography rather than reducing risk, and gov still has access.

I don't disagree with you, but I do think it's a moot argument because I don't believe any government would stop collecting and using zero days just because they have key escrow. They'll still want 0-days to use for all the corner cases when escrow fails them.

It's pretty plausible to imagine tweaking VEP or other policies though, for example. A big player like the US government, policy changes like that can move markets.
