> How was crime solved before end-to-end encrypted mobile apps existed?
One meaningful investigative tool was (and still is) the wiretap, where access to the physical channel gives unencrypted access to the contents. Phone encryption is possible, but was generally used rarely.
It sounds to me as if investigators want to preserve some equivalent of this tool, although its existence in the first place was more of a technical limitation than a legal one.
