If they can update software they have administrator access any time they want it.

But that requires compromising the supply chain rather than a single admin's account.

No it just requires the company wanting to do it due to a government order.

The “compromise” is coming from inside the house. Might as well claim no one knows the admin passwords because they are written in a notebook that the management keeps in their home safe.
