If only we could show them how this kind of things may go wrong. I don't know, the case of some leader of a nation they are having trouble with, abusing of a similar access with their data.
But they will probably think that is only bad when others do it to them.

We can. This has already happened with the fairly recent SALT TYPHOON hacks. China (ostensibly) abused lawful wiretapping mechanisms to spy on American (and other) citizens and politicians. The news at the time wasn't always explicit about the mechanism, but that's what happened.
China wouldn't have been able to do this if those mechanisms didn't exist in the first place.
Wait, isn’t that the law working exactly as planned?
The elephant in the room here is US.
