You could ask this about every user of every large cloud service provider, which is why they all refuses to implement E2E, or store the keys [4].

The government has their hands in all of them, using "national security" as the justification, with threats if they don't comply [1][2], with the alternative being to shut down [3].

Does it prevent harm? Probably.

This shouldn't be understated.

Also, implicit in the government's requirements is that they require mass domestic surveillance capabilities. Imagine a large government tool that for each citizen there is an antagonist OpenClaw-like set of agents surveilling and potentially acting against every public interaction and occasionally hallucinating.
