This is like having many locks, alarm systems, cameras and more on your home and then leaving the key + keycode out back under a rock or over the door. Obfuscated backdoor? Sure, but the key is still in the backyard, anyone can find it and use it.

I wish encryption was explained to people in simple terms in the media like keys outback or window left ajar, something that obviously let's people know that it isn't safe to weaken security (for only our gov't which is not possible) otherwise it is pointless.
