Company X knows that embedded programmers will create backdoors and give / sell them to spooks. So it proactively creates one of its own and then sells it, in advance, separately to each of the spook orgs. This maximizes utility and profit for Company X. Soviet Communism fell because of not too dissimilar madness, "so it can't be all bad".
