The "backdoor" is that the receiver has no privacy or has to trust the sender. But thats by public design .. its a public announced feature of the software. Thats not a secret backdoor .. a public front door for the government at best.

And thats OK is people choose that by choice. GNU Taler promises eCash sender privacy .. that is even better compared to Bitcoin onchain (leaving an pseudonym public trace). But is transparent to the givernment on the trustless receiver side. That is still better then any digital payment like Visa, PayPal and a like.
