I don't like it, but I think we're better off if the courts side with FBI on this case, because it should accelerate the inevitable: either Apple and other mobile device makers give up on privacy and governments around the world get whatever they want, or they make zero knowledge devices that can't expose their data unless the user complies. In the meantime, FBI losing this case just means they try again. And again. And so will other governments, not just federal, but state and local. And foreign. The reality is Apple can change the software to in effect cause the data to become accessible. Apple doesn't have keys to the front door. But they have the power to weaken the hinges. Saying they won't do that isn't the same as it not being possible.
