Your modified analogy is broken, since it is impossible for an encryption service to provide the information being subpoenaed by definition. You wouldn’t claim Hertz is “impeding an investigation” by failing to use telepathy. Damn but authoritarians are stupid.
Again, what’s happening here is that a service is occasionally abused and the service provider is being held liable. End of story. Nobody is impeding investigations. You guys are either technologically illiterate or arguing in bad faith.
So... you're saying your own analogy is disanalogous...
