In all cynicism, it is not needed to build backdoors into crypto.

Mostly agree, though we can always hope to get better CPUs, OSes, and libraries. There's at least some reason to believe that improvement is possible on all of these. Of course, state-supported three-letter agencies will try to sabotage them, as they've been doing for many years.
