This is so obvious and true that everyone cannot help but overlook it.

What happened to the days when the NSA helped make world class crypto like AES256 in a public forum?

I think the world-class individuals who made the NSA into a competent organization left after the end of the Cold War. It looks to have been run by wingnuts ever since; Keith Alexander's "Star Trek" room ( https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/sep/15/nsa-mi... ) comes to mind.
