I agree. The biggest problem in this age is having a strong encryption that is user-friendly. The common wisdom says it's impossible to combine the two. I disagree with it but I don't have the time to try and work in the area, nor am I an expert. IMO it's a good cause to work on anyhow.

Furthermore, spies aren't stopped by social stigma. Even if the whole planet agrees in one voice wiretapping shouldn't be done (never gonna happen) the spies can always deny that they're spying. It's not like any of us can actually prove that any agency is indeed wiretapping.

Morality is, in the technical sense, optional. It cannot be enforced. Thus it's unreliable.
