Yes, but for Apple it is easy. Just change 1 line of code, recompile and patch the phones firmware. Than some FBI intern can try 10000 lockscreen codes and they're in. No big deal.
My whole point is, this is not a technical issue. It is easy. It is a legal issue. Can the government force a company to do such a thing? Especially when the impact on society is zero. The firmware upgrade is not released outside of Apple, no other phones get it.
It feels almost like a publicity stunt to me. Apple being the underdog in the fight against the big evil government.
If they don't want to cooperate and there is no legal basis for doing so, than don't cooperate.
