This is not due to incompetence. This is done with the objective to influence the public opinion of cryptographic tools so that people will stop using them. The system has no way of actually breaking encryption, that's why it is focusing on the other ways to circumvent it - one of them being making most people (non-experts) believe that it doesn't work anyway so they will stop using it.

This is a focused campaign, this is not just random occurence of incompetence.
