Yes, Apple does have a "thing". And the thing is the signing certificates. The fact that some work is involved in using the thing makes no difference. Every demand requires some work. The fact that they're being asked to do thing A instead of thing B to get some outcome seems to be a weird place to draw the line. If it took hundreds of man hours to collect and properly separate out data for a single person to hand over to the FBI as evidence, they would be expected to do it. And they will even be compensated for it.
