Out of curiosity: is inability to create password-protected PDF files
with pdfTeX/LuaTeX due to legal issues or due to nobody caring enough
to implement it?

it's not worth the trouble. Afaik it's a second pass issue and would
complicate the code much.

Just use qpdf to do it ... pretty fast.

If qpdf exists it is probably not a legal issue to do password protection then.

Why?
