Apple implemented not-exactly-end-to-end encryption on phones and the FBI publicly complained. Implementing effective encryption would most likely result in threats of a ban by the Chinese government. See http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2013-07/11/blackberry-in...

Ultimately there's only so far you can go against the wishes of the Chinese government when your factories are there, or against the US government when your HQ is there.
