That was miscalibration on my part.
My thought process was that wiretapping is a well-known tool used by the government, and I wasn't surprised that they would have created a mechanism by which they could wiretap everyone.
As for why I expected phones more than online communication, that's was availability bias on my part. I'm used to hearing about wiretaps, while similar news with emails either a government employee, who I would expect them to monitor, or a private individual hacking into an email account.
