Messages can be submitted to trials in a lot of cases, but that’s because the underlying technology used was not configured correctly or did not offer encryption. Up until just a few years ago for example, you’d have to turn off iCloud sync to avoid your iMessage data being legally provided to the courts (since it was not E2E encrypted in your icloud backup, even though the messages themselves were sent E2E encrypted), but now with end to end encryption Apple literally does not have the keys to your data by design when you enable it and the government to the best that top researchers, investigators, and journalists can tell also lacks that capability. I don’t understand why you’re failing to see the nuance here. If you don’t leverage proper precautions, your data is certainly exposed, but that is simply not because of some conspiracy. It’s a consequence of old, poor design. Things have changed.

Don’t argue with morons. Just block and move on.
