This makes it weirdly hard to come up with schemes that are provably secure to encrypt (functions of) secret keys because if we don’t know the secret key, we can’t manufacture ciphertexts that contain the right data. And if we can’t make those, we can’t “exploit” an attacker who can break those ciphertexts.
