Anyone committing a serious enough crime to "justify" breaking encryption would be very motivated to not get caught.

Yes, though the intelligence of criminals varies wildly. One person might organize drug deals over speakerphone in a Starbucks while another might torrent movies only over a clean laptop connected to a public access point with a long-range wifi antenna.

How many of these sophisticated and non-lazy criminals are there?

If you have a lot of sophisticated and non-lazy criminals, my guess is that there is something very wrong. I'd like to know more about these characters and what kinds of crimes they are committing.

If a criminal is that unsophisticated, there should be other ways to catch them? Mind you, there are better ways to tackle drugs than a Law & Order approach.
