It would be prudent to push secure protocols that didn't require these things. eg scrap the IMSI, rotating ephemeral IMEI, network-independent VOIP, and blinded bearer tokens for payment.

But governments intrinsically see surveillance as an unquestioned good and likely wouldn't even approve such protocols for overt telecom use, never mind helping to develop them. The public has already been pwnt by design - this whole topic is just squabbling over who gets the proceeds.
