In principle this is true, but if the endpoint you "control" requires an engineering degree and expensive equipment to analyze, you're effectively not in control. You cited the proliferation of jailbroken phones, but jailbreaking procedures usually find other bugs with which to bypass the encryption --- they can't do anything against the encryption itself.
