This process, known as an equities review, was created by the Obama administration to determine if new security flaws should be kept secret or disclosed, and gives the government a specific time frame for alerting companies to the flaws.

You mentioned they wouldn't help you with your colleague's phone. Multiply this by the number of iPhones they have sold and this tells you the potential cost of providing a back up plan other than 10 strikes and out for such eventualities. As coders they went for the simple technical solution, not the messy case by case human one.
Fundamentally it highlights a problem of a mass produced device becoming so central to people's lives. When they open that door in that illustration above they are going to find a herd of sheep.

I'm not sure it's me that rants here sunshine.
My main point is that Apple's lack of foresight has led them into this PR nightmare,
Law enforcement officials speaking on background debunked another report that had named Israeli forensics firm Cellebrite as the mystery firm helping it break into the phone.
On Wednesday, the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported that the company that specializes in extracting information from cellphones was the mysterious "outside party." The FBI had previously bought kits for extracting data from cellphones from Cellebrite.
The officials, who are not authorized to speak publicly on the matter, declined to identify the outside party providing the technical assistance.
