They specify that the FW will be locked to the unique device's ID, so it won't be usable on any other one.
But once it's established that it can be required from Apple, Apple has to comply, and Apple effectively does comply, other judges in other cases will be able to request other FW, hard-coded against other IDs, as needed.
The middle-term solution to this is for Apple's security team to protect against this threat model, and implement encryption in such a way that _they_ can't bypass it under constraint. I'm not an Apple customer and I don't follow their products closely, but I understand that iPhones 6 already are harder to bypass than iPhones 5.
