"France's deputy minister for digital affairs Axelle Lemaire rejected a proposed amendment that would require companies to enable government access. […].

The French official went on to say that if backdoors become a requirement, personal data is no longer protected and that companies including the features would likely face huge economic and credibility consequences. In other words, people would stop using those products. Lemaire also noted that backdoors offer a way in for those with less than noble intentions. "
