It's still possible for the government to apply pressure so that ISPs man in the middle and force weaker ciphers that can be decoded after the fact

They cannot force weaker ciphers. TLS specifically won’t allow it due to past attacks relying on this.

Everyone would notice if ISPs were man-in-the-middling their TLS connections because none of the TLS connections would work.
