Perhaps a better analogy: we haven't seen legislation that attempts to outlaw physical safes that are capable of destroying the contents in response to an attempt to tamper with or force them open, have we?

Such safes are very uncommon. If some major bank announced that it's going to install destroy-on-tamper on all its safety deposit boxes, I'd definitely expect some reactive legislation about it.
