I’m just responding to the specific claim regarding the incompatibility of current UK legislation with EU law. AFAIK this is not an established fact. It’s an increasingly hypothetical question, though not entirely so.
There are EU countries with key disclosure laws. See e.g. France and Ireland on this list: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_disclosure_law
Of course, it's not an established fact. Who would establish that fact? The UK is not a member of the EU. I was talking about the current UK legislation and I stand by what I stated. You disagree but have not presented any reasons why I should change my mind. You even said you're not a lawyer and have not displayed any knowledge of EU or UK legislation and practice. So you disagree. I understand that. There is no need to further continue this discussion.
What I do know is that I won't be able to sell my software in the UK or to any UK citizens or to any citizens who want to use to to communicate with UK citizens because it uses secure end-to-end encryption. That's the important bit for me personally.
