fair enough, padlock was the wrong type of lock for the analogy. how about a vault door? sure that may not be as common, but you don’t have to support a government master key for those either.
Same thing goes for vaults, or all physical locks. It may take a little longer than a padlock but nothing comparable to the amount of time it would take to brute force good encryption. We’re talking maybe a couple of hours or days for a vault vs. millions of years.
