Could Cook even compel his employees to write the desired operating system? If I worked there and was asked to violate/reverse the core of my company's principles, I would quit. Frankly, this type of order would deeply hurt moral at Apple. I imagine Cook knows that, and in addition to doing the right thing, he must double down on ensuring employee retention and future sale of products. End-to-end encryption is a feature many people buy the phone to get. If that disappeared, many techies would stop recommending it, and sales will slide. There's a lot on the table here. I don't even think you could measure the impact for reimbursement by the government. sigh, at least you CA folks elected Ted Lieu, good job!
