I expect these are red herrings:
1) As Bruce Schneier poits out, if Apple can write the code to break the security, so can others (especially if they steal Apple's signing key). (He also says the vulnerability is not just in the 5c but in current iPhones too.) [1]
2) Considering #1, and that every system ever designed has many vulnerabilities, I find it hard to believe that the US government hasn't developed exploits. Perhaps they just don't want to reveal that in such a high profile case.
