It is easier to understand if the same task is rephrased.
"Apple ordered by Chinese government to disable lock on phone seized from undercover CIA agent."
The act is the same. Being a multinational company, the result is no different for Apple. A government is legally requiring Apple to make decryption possible, but suddenly the people crying for Apple to unlock this phone will take an extremely different stance.

If Apple doesn't like it, they should either secure the device in such a way that it isn't easier for themselves to compromise than it is for a third party or stop doing business in that country if they believe the requests are unreasonable.
