What if the British government makes iPhone-style encryption illegal like
they seem to be suggesting they will?

While I entirely agree with what you're saying, anyone who buys a third
party hardware device entirely trusts the manufacturer has not included
backdoors.

I am suggesting a model where there is a separation of responsibilities
between providers in the various stack which is resistant against both
legislation and actual backdoors.
