No one is being “required by law” to add vulnerabilities, it’s more likely they are foreign agents to begin with.

Depends on the law and where you are. Publicly we have https://www.eff.org/issues/national-security-letters/faq and it's likely that other requests have occurred from time to time, even in the USA.
