The tech giant said providing encryption keys was a standard response to a court order. But companies like Apple and Meta set up their systems so such a privacy violation isn’t possible.
Didn’t this happen with an iPhone a few years back? FBI couldn’t get into a suspect’s phone, Apple stood firm publicly, but then somehow the FBI got in anyway? Maybe I’m misremembering.

That was the opposite. The FBI got in, but without Apples help.
Also iCloud has a distinct option to not give Apple your recovery keys. I believe the had to disable it in the UK to comply with regulations.
Apparantly that suspect had a 4 digit pin so once they bypassed the Secure Enclave, they can brute force it in 10 seconds
For Phones, 20 character alphanumeric password is a hassle, but for computers, you can easily use a 10 word passphrase.
If you use a long password, bypassing the password entry limit doesn’t matter if the algorithm itself is secure.
In this case, the key was uploaded to a microsoft account… so you don’t even need a back door, just walk right in…
