The backdoors are law and built into many points of the internet, starlink and all major telecoms and ISP's have to support it.

The problem is the law requiring the backdoor. If you build a door, people are going to figure out how to use it.

Anyone could have told you this is an inevitable outcome. Countless, in fact, did, and it was ignored. Reap the God blessed whirlwind at this point I guess.
