Yeah but not… really. They could all circumvent this easily enough (mailing you bits of your family until you give them the password is a classic technique), this just weakens their own or ally countries with no benefit to them directly. Anyone who they actually want access to is going to be using encryption some other way now, so really this just makes their job more of a pain in the ass.
