What makes you think WhatsApp backups don’t have a secondary way to unlock the encryption key? Wouldn’t it be more logical to assume the encryption key for whatsapp backups can also be unlocked by an alternate “password”

If the US is willing to build an entire data center in Outback Australia to allow warrantless access to US citizen data, why wouldn’t they be forcing WhatsApp backups to be unlockable?
