.. so they can steal it.

Excellent example of why your stuff (be it messages or valuables) are not safe if anyone else has the key.
That is obviously 100% correct, I just find it interesting that we all expect our data storage to be in this completely unbreakable vault that no one can get to even with a valid court warrant, but there is no such expectation for physical spaces. Even the most secure Swiss bank will have to open their vault when the police turn up with a valid warrant.
