Except in the digital realm - once it is created, its out there forever. All it takes is for a copy to get loose and now we all get to have fun. There is absolutely zero difference between a one-time/just-this-once/just for this device and a permanent backdoor for everyone. Once you get into the security of how the actual protections work you will see why that is the case.
