Nor or founders who push back, as Tim Cook has bravely done so far. Though less so in China.

if the government comes after you, you're screwed. that's why decentralized protocols are important especially when it comes to money and speech. being a CEO of a company pushing privacy through encryption is a dangerous undertaking. this stuff has to be built by the people for the people.
I'm not opposed to a CEO pushing encryption and deciding for themselves their level of risk tolerance. However it's important to assume eventual failure under pressure and think that scenario through.
To take two extremes:
1. If the code is out there, the deed is done.
2. With a closed platform, you just trapped your users.
