There is already a FedPKI and it's already the Department of Justice's job to track law enforcement, is it not?

No, I don't believe it's the DoJ's job to track law enforcement. There is some Federal-level recordkeeping of crime statistics... training... intelligence sharing.
Could you explain what you mean, or give some examples?
There's too many (US) law enforcement bodies to make a centralised system work, as you'd need to get a certificate authority managing every individual officer's status for every one of these (small and large) agencies, and handle onboarding and offboarding.
In other countries there are more formal structures for these request through verifiable channels, with standard operating procedures in place.
The question is whether the companies are adopting a lowest common denominator model (a false but assumed valid US request can request any user's data) or not, as that might start to make it a more global concern, and get it on European data protection regulators' radars.
