ELI5: Why does the US government which doesn't have the security to prevent 21.5 million employees from being hacked want to put backdoors into all programs?
gpt
The US government is made up of people. Each of those people think they are good people doing good work. They work to protect other good people. They think they are the good guys. They want to defeat all bad guys. They think that encryption back doors will give the bad guys fewer places to hide. They want to beat the bad guys so much that they are willing to give up your privacy. They want to beat the bad guys so much they are willing to destroy the entire concept of privacy in order to win against all bad guys everywhere. 

They don't understand that the "back door" they want to build can be found by the bad guys. 

They believe that their safety is more important than your privacy.
