The simplest possible explanation for them shutting themselves out has to be incompetence rather than malice, right?
I don't know why so many people feel better about incompetence than they do about malice. Malicious parties can at least be expected to act in their own interests, even if in reprehensible fashion. Incompetent parties might do anything at all, e.g. permanently damaging our communications infrastructure for a chance at short-term political advantage.
