Typically (in the US) it's been the executive branch that has tried to subvert privacy (see COINTELPRO), and the judicial which has (sometimes) upheld it. However, because crypto would actively impede the ability of the judicial branch to use warrants, I imagine it would alienate our typical ally.

That might be true, and that's a conversation we should definitely have, as we decide how we will be governed in the future. But that alone does not mean less crypto is preferable.
