We have a group of arrogant tech oligarchs who are embedded in a fascist government. They've already shown that they're chomping at the bit to try out new surveillance toys. I imagine that it's far simpler/cleaner for them to exploit some vulnerability or built-in back door that makes it look like a reckless teen crashed his own car.
