How so? I find encryption gets in the way of more advanced users than the average user. It's pretty seamless these days. Have you every owned an encrypted android phone recently?

I wouldn't encrypt your device for the sole purpose of making it so google can't reset your passcode. The operating system isn't even needed to get the stuff that would be of interest off your phone.
The issue may not be whether than can get it without your password; it may be that they want to get it remotely, easily, quickly, and with a lesser likelihood that you become aware of the breach--which can be a great advantage for the NSA/FBI/POLICE depending upon the situation.
