Sure they can, but the goal is to raise the cost. Why do we bother to encrypt anything? They can always get a court order and install a backdoor in your computer or bust down the door while things are unlocked - we do it to increase the cost - if they have to dedicate resources to monitoring they have to pick targets that (hopefully) actually have some reason behind them and cannot surveil everyone just for shits and giggles.
