I believe the concept is that I may not be able to jail you for your criminal activity but I can still jail you for breaking the encryption law.
But more generally I think one has to account for the power of the default option - with so many criminals posting their crimes on social media and/or their Venmo descriptions, the likelihood of criminals abandoning (say) WhatsApp and coding their own is rather slim.
