Perhaps they already have backdoors, but don't tell everyone.
So a backdoor is okay incase it's not hidden?
Would this really be considered a hardware backdoor?
How can you trust that there isn't a backdoor that's not available to you?
a backdoor would still be a backdoor - even if the "good guys" made it. e.g. Dual_EC_DRBG
